Summary: He is lost.
- — - — -
Yuugi wanders through a stone maze. There is fog on the ground. It is cold.
He is lost.
Sometimes he opens his mouth to call his name, but he cannot: the fog and the shadows and the icy loneliness that lives in him choke him.
He goes upside down and sideways through a maze that makes no sense; the doors lead to more doors, all emblazoned with tarnished golden eyes.
He looks for some sign that he is still there, or that he was ever here.
When he gets tired, he sits down. He knows that if he sleeps, he will be returned to his body and he will have to start all over. But there is still that desperate part of him that hopes, maybe this is a dream, maybe he will close his eyes and wake up under his gaze.
Yuugi gives in to the heaviness in his eyelids.
When he awakes, he is still in the maze, and his fingers are blue at the ends.
This time, he can scream. There's no one to hear him.
