"Only the dead have seen the end of war." – Plato

I knew I shouldn't come out from behind my pillar and talk to Kaiba to find out what just happened – he'd kill me. Literally. So I tried thinking about what he'd say if I did.
I must have been talking out loud or SOMETHING, because next thing I know, he's looking over at my pillar. He just stood up and he has a firm hold on his briefcase. Kaiba's eyes are like, all red and puffy. He looks mad and sad at the same time. No, I take that back – he looks homicidal.
Shit.
Making peace with the gods here...
Wait, he's not looking very homicidal any more. He looks more – I can't BELIEVE this – lost and helpless. Kaiba Seto, THE Kaiba Seto, looking lost and helpless. This has got to be the most bizarre day of my entire life. "Yugi." He says softly. He's out of the rain, but he's soaked to the bone, and looks freezing, not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. Something has happened to him. Something really serious. "Yugi... Mokuba... oh – " Losing his composure totally, just losing it, he breaks down, right there, head on my shoulder.
Awkward.
I pat him on the back rather with embarrassment, because this is like, the guy with no emotions, and this is obviously really personal, so, I'm his nemesis and all, and I'm like, speechless.
You know, if someone were to suddenly walk up and see us, they would see some pointy-haired confused midget with a drenched CEO sobbing his heart out on the midget's shoulder.
And I haven't even a clue why Kaiba's crying.
