Hey, all! I added something in the previous chapter. It's EXACTLY after the begining A/N. But that's the only thing.
Welcome to chapter two! Yuugi's second letter to the dead (but not actually dead) Atem (because he's still alive...but in the afterlife...so he's dead, according to our world's standards, but he's still alive according...to...uh, nevermind. Just enjoy the chapter!)


Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue.
Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage.
Any individual that symbolizes life or energy is subject to projected resentment because of greif.


Dear Asshole,

It's been two days since I wrote that first letter, and guess what? It didn't make me feel any better—big surprise! Not. I still feel like the used gum on the street that you stepped on with your leather, sliver studded boot. Thanks for nothing, Anzu. Oh, and Opera, of course. And I swear, if I have to sit through one more speech by Anzu, I think I'm going to shoot myself. Or her. Either way is fine. I'm so angry, and I don't know why, and that just makes me all the more angry!

And you! Yeah, you! Who else is so low as to leave their so-called "partner"? How could you? How could you be so willing to leave after everything we went through? After everything I sacrificed? I could have been killed—countless times! But I still stayed with you. Why? Because that's what partners do! What kind of partner are you? Not a very good one, I'm thinking. But maybe it has been only one-sided the whole time. The moment you got your memories, you left. So, what? You were just using me? Just to attain your goals? So I actually meant nothing to you? I don't understand. You meant everything to me! Was it all just a game to you, because it wasn't to me. It wasn't! What if it was just a game to you? That thought just makes me want to punch you. Really hard. In the gut.

I attended a friend meeting earlier today. I tried to skip out, but Anzu brought it right over to my house. There was a lot of talk—from everybody—then some crying—from Anzu, of course—and then the next thing I know, I'm telling them to leave. It all happened so fast. I just finally came to the end of my string, and I snapped. Being like that scared me—it scared everyone else, too. I never knew I could get so mad. Anzu stayed behind, trying to talk to me through the front door, but I just walked away. I can't stand there and listen to her say, "Yugi, if we just stick together, we can get through this, because we're friends."

This is your fault! If I lose all my friends—everything that's still precious to me—it's because of you! I'm starting to think that I would have been better off never completing the puzzle. Why did you leave—and why did I ever let you go? Why didn't anyone stop you? Are we all really that stupid? What am I saying, of course we are! This whole life is stupid.

I'm going to bed. I need some time to think.
I need to figure out why you left. Why I'm so angry because of it…and why I'm so hurt.

- You know who the hell this is

P.S - Can you believe this? Grandpa says I should apologize to everyone! What the hell did I do?


Aw...poor Yuugi. I love putting my characters through angst. It makes me feel so alive! (LOL! Just joking, but I really do love my angst! :D)
