"What do you want me to say?" I hate these weekly sessions. Doctor's orders, Mokuba's orders.
"What you really think of yourself." What do I think of my self? I think lots of things.
"I see my self. As a strong person."
"Is that all? There has to be more to you than that." That's all I want to see. "Is that how you really see yourself, or is that how you want people to see you?" An interesting idea, I don't know really.
"Not sure about that."
"Are you sure about anything?"
"Only what I can see."
"So when you look in the mirror, what do you see?" I see… Seto Kaiba. I don't like that name. Kaiba.
"I see my step father." I do.
"And that makes you feel…"
"Like there is something wrong with me. I've tried so hard not to be like him, and no matter how much I work, I keep seeing him. No matter how much I deny him, he is always there."
"Is that why you work so hard? Because you think that if you do, you'll be better than your stepfather."
"Possibly. I know that I'm better than him, I'm here after all, I haven't been over thrown like he was. So from a business point of view, I know that I am better."
"But what about life in general? There is more to life than business." I don't see how there could be.
"I know I'm better than him."
"Why?"
"I've been a father since I was 5 years old. I see my brother and I know that he's ok. He's not like a degenerate or something. So I know that I did something right. I don't think that my stepfather did a right thing in his entire life." The man looked at me.
"Am I to understand that you feel that you have only done one good thing your entire life, and that is Mokuba?" Yes. That's exactly what I feel. The company rests on my shoulders, and my sanity, my well being, rests on his. So…
"I think that I should get out more."
