Really just think Marik and Proper Actual Ryou Bakura could have a bunch to talk about in a post canon situation and be like sounding board support therapy as people who are just expected to be normal people now after having been twisted into villains in a shounen series. Did you also Not have a wholesome partnership with a Millennium Item and thus can’t totally relate to Yugi’s experience? Did stuff also get way the fuck out of your control and hurt people? Were all your friends in comas at one point? Because of you? Have you almost died from card games? How do you feel about what happened to you or what you did? How much weird guilt and responsibility are you sitting with? How’s that stolen childhood treating you? Scars all over your body because of Ancient Egypt? Lots of people who associate your face with another whole personality? Do you doubt that your friends legit trust you? What things from your life before have you put away for a while because you almost died from card games? It’s a lot of unaddressed trauma for both and someone who gets it would be nice. Maybe you can text all the time and visit each other’s countries frequently and kiss after unexpected long time bonding over A Lot, I don’t know, just throwing that out there.

So here’s a pile of people having really mundane interactions now that all the supernatural stuff is over, and now I am free of a large percentage of my burden. Thrill as their faces and clothes morph inconsistently across the pages until I settle on stuff I like.
