If it's too much for your delicate ears, you can turn around and walk away.

[ what. no. i was here first. ]

It's not too much. It was just a question.

If you hate memories so much, then why bother showing up when we're taking them?

I would say so that you can't tell crazy stories about me, but it seems the truth is stranger than fiction anyway.

[ snorts at that. ]

You can say that again. I don't think even the wildest imagination could have come up with some of this stuff.

Then it would be because something was bothering me about one of them, but you managed to clear that up for me.

And what was that?

Please, Yugi. We're not that close.

No, of course not.

But if you ever feel like talking about stuff from home, ... [ trails off. the implication is there, but he doubts it’ll ever come up. ]

You're right. I have Nine-Nine.

...

How could I have forgotten? [ silly me. ] If that’s it then, I’ll see you around, Intensity.

Enjoy your memories, Yugi.

And you and your timeshare enjoy doing whatever it is that you do.

I don't have a timeshare!

[ squints. ]

[ ... ]

He's right there. [ points beside intensity. ]

[Turns and looks and---]

. . .

Really now?

Yes.

[ said with all the conviction. ]

[ walks forward and reaches out to his double to prove his point, but then he's reaching through him and his expression warps into horrified in an instant. ]

He's a g- g- ghost?!?

[Yugi.

Yugi. Bro.

R U OKAY?]

Why so upset? Being dead is probably preferable here.

[ define ok.

because he's feeling a bunch of conflicting things which make him think he's not ok, but maybe? he?? is??? ]

... [ oh man that's right this is hell. he's going to attempt to reach through himself and nope. stares at his hand, since it's betrayed his trust for, like, the fourth time today. ]

Does one of us always have to be dead? Is that how this double thing works?

Yugi.

There isn't anyone standing there.

You need to go lie down or something.

I'm looking right at him though!

But... maybe laying down would be a good idea...

You agreed with me. The world must be ending.

[Putting a hand on Yugi's shoulder and shoving him toward the elevator]

If the world here ends does that mean we get to go home?

[ the shove sends him face first into the ground. just lays there. yup. this is fine. ]

I fink yer right bout alotta fings. [ mumbled. ]

[N-not his intention.

Jebus.

Quickly tries to yank Yugi back up to his feet. Let's hope no one saw that...]

No, it means you get to become the audience and then watch the next batch of idols suffer. And yes. Of course I'm right.

It doesn't count when you only admit to it while you're obviously delirious though.

[ as soon as he's on his feet again he's going to rub his face. ow. grabs a hold of intensity to keep from losing his balance again. ]

You're not you in the audience though, right, because no one's watching the watchers, so couldn't they have access to stuff and... things...

[ squints up at him. ]

You are so tall.

[With one hand still grabbing Yugi tightly, Intensity is going to start to make his way to the elevator with Yugi in tow.]

Yes, you lose most of you.

But you can also come back from it. So you wouldn't disappear completely.
