Thanks to Yu-Jyo's Cody for the English translation of the Japanese dialogue and how it differs from the dub version.

#13 Excessive Chain
Her brother falling, fighting Rishid.
Her brother kneeling down, trying but failing to protect Mai.
Her brother falling, but he doesn't get up this time.
Over and over the scenes played in Shizuka's mind.
Her brother falling, and Rishid falling too. Get up, Jounouchi! the others had screamed, and he had. That time. But not Rishid.
Mai. Oh, God, Mai. Her brother protecting Mai. Yugi protecting her brother. All of it for nothing. Yugi falling, her brother kneeling down beside him, Mai falling… Yugi got up, and her brother got up that time, too. But not Mai.
Bakura fell, too, though they didn't see it happen.
Ra attacking. She was at the bottom of the tower running up the stairs, and when she got there, her brother was somehow, impossibly, standing. He summoned something; she didn't understand the game well enough to know what, but he should've won. He would've won, that much she knew. It's what they all said.
But then he fell. And this time, he didn't get up.
She knelt at his bedside, ignoring the flurry of activity around her. Honda was shouting at the doctor; that was hard to ignore. But the rest faded away. Just her and her brother.
Falling.
Rishid, falling.
Mai, falling.
Her brother, falling.
She squeezed his hand, leaned over and kissed it. "Wake up, Big Brother, please wake up…"
Yugi appeared beside her and gently took her brother's hand from her so he could slip the duel disk onto his arm. "I'm going back to the duel ring where Kaiba is waiting," he said. "Jounouchi-kun, please keep fighting here, as a true duelist."
He has a deep voice for someone so small, she thought randomly, and then she realized what he was saying. He was going to duel. Another link in the chain of darkness.
Her brother. Rishid. Mai. Bakura. Her brother again. And now Yugi, too?
She squeezed her brother's hand again, then rested her head against the bed and started to cry.
