  Summary

  Yugi's sad. Seto's giving the Priest title a twist. And Joey's a mutt for all the right reasons. Atem left a mess, but luckily Seto and Joey are used to picking up pieces.

  Bookmarker's Notes

  Beautiful. Just beautiful. The characters are given their just due, and I really love how Seto becomes borderline humble while Joey is the key factor to keeping both Yugi and Seto anchored in the present. Mokuba is a sensible kid too, gotta thank him for being so perceptive of everything!
