Do and Don't
Chapter 9
Do Reflect
Ryou used to enjoy games. His favourite were tabletop role plays but since the Spirit of the Ring had started possessing his body he no longer found pleasure in those games. The toys looked too much like people he had known. Now the spirit was gone but he still couldn't play the games. They illustrated his life too well. The pain. The quest to fit in. He had gotten rid of the boards, especially the one the Spirit had used to trap Yugi and his friends all those years ago. He barely remembered what he did with all the figurines and he tried not to think about it. Then one day while cleaning he came across one of them. A small person dressed in aqua blue with a staff in one hand. The brave brown eyes stared into his.
He used to enjoy those games. He could remember the times he had played with his friends. He could remember the joy of winning. He remembered being part of a group and joining quests. He could remember being happy. It seemed like so long ago. He looked down at the toy in his hand.
Perhaps he would get a new board.
