[there's a brief snippet of video as Kiryu messes with his comm, showing that he's inside Yuusei's MAC apartment and it looks like no one else is around, but the feed quickly gets switched to just audio. The whole network doesn't need to see how he's feeling about this.]

I think...Yuusei might be gone. Again.

[then there's the longest pause

I guess I'm not at that point yet.

I don't know. It's harder this time for some reason.

[Voice : Private]

[satisfiedsigner]

Yeah, maybe...

I'll be home in a bit. There isn't really much to do here.

[Voice : Private]

[satisfiedsigner]

Yeah. I'm glad.

[and after a good long while...]

Hey, I need to talk to you when I get home. I'm only about 5 minutes away now.

[and so a very tired looking Kiryu wanders into apartment. but at least he doesn't seem quite as depressed as before!]

Hey, I'm back.

[action]

[satisfiedsigner]

Better. [Kiryu gave him a faint smile as he sat down to prove it, but it didn't last long. He wasn't really looking forward to this conversation.] A couple people helped distract me a bit. That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

[action]

[satisfiedsigner]

...I want to know about your lookalike.

[action]

[satisfiedsigner]

Anything. I know you don't like him, and neither does Alastair, but... [pause. Bakura could probably interpret that on his own.]

I don't really know why, though.

[action]

[satisfiedsigner]

[Well...that sounded like someone he should be pretty pissed off at. And it didn't really sound anything like himself, so maybe he could forget about that half-hearted personal comparison...

But it also didn't sound like the Other Bakura he'd spoken to a couple times (although really that was why he asked in the first place)...

He's quiet for a good long moment while he tamps down on some of that anger and tries to think of how to say what he wants to say.]

...I wonder if it's because Mutou isn't here anymore but...he's been pretty helpful and kind of friendly to me...
