It was cold out that day. It was one of those days that seemed to be brimming with sunshine, but is actually hollow and whips through a person with daggers of cold.

He didn’t hate these kinds of days, even though his thin jacket wasn’t near warm enough.

Besides, it was just getting out of spring but the weather hadn’t set into the stride of summer just yet.

His numbing fingers flickered over the worn edges of his cards, trusted friends that he could count on almost like his real life ones.

Just as much as, the wind seemed to say.

He tensed, but tried not to pay attention to it.

Flick. The Dark Magician.

Yuugi was letting him hold onto this one for a little bit.

Flick. Shinning Friendship.

Anzu, who else?

Flick. Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

One of his favorite friends.

But I am too, aren’t I, Ky’yatsu?

Flick. The Flame Swordsman.

Ah. Yes. There’s those feelings.

Flick. Flick. Flick.

With his head down and voices ringing within it, he didn’t see the figure that materialized behind him, purple hair fading into the brown that it hadn’t been for centuries.

Mahaado tipped his head down, watching the blond mop wobble as he walked.

May you remember what was lost to you, what you gained in this, and what there still is to gain. He waved one of his hands and markings appeared underneath it. And it starts with this!

The runes finished clicking into place, forming a circle. The completed spell glowed a brilliant white before it took off towards the unsuspecting Jou.

It hit, and he crashed into the pavement.

Mahaado looked away before grabbing the edge of his cloak and spinning around, back into the Shadow Realm, once again donning his purple garb.

After all, he didn’t have to look back to see Jou morphing into a little puppy.

Because he was the same catalyst as before.
