The burdens of a cursed soul - CLOSED TO ALL!!!
How could he? How could he let this happen? Dr. Denavue promised he would try to make me happy, even as I suffer... but he's only hurting me more! ... By hurting my friends...
I know what happened to Malik. The changeling went after him and tried to rape him. Rape him! It's cruel! It's awful! Adolphos sent the changeling to do this of course... but Dr. Denavue has a higher ranking than Adolphos does. He could have stopped the changeling and Adolphos... Why didn't he?
Zigfried's been hurt, Malik's been hurt, Yugi's been hurt... Why? Why them? There are billions of people in this world- Why not go after their souls instead?! Why go after the first friends I've made in over two decades?!
I never try to resist or disrupt Dr. Denavue. He protects me, guides me, and helps me as I make my journey through life. But I can't stand on the sidelines watching anymore! Not when he's letting Adolphos try to kill my friends!
I half-walk,half-run quickly out of my tent, and to the tent next to mine; Dr. Denavue's. (Dr. Denavue requires I stay as near to him as possible, so our tents are next to each other). "I must put an end to this!", I think, before I open the flaps and walk inside.

Dr. Denavue: *looks up from his desk* Ilmari? What are you doing here? It's late, you shouldn't be wandering around! You need rest!
Ilmari: No I don't! I can't! There's no way I can rest knowing Adolphos is going after my friends! *frantic* Why?! Why is he doing this?! Why aren't you stopping him?!
Dr. Denavue: *stares, he's never seen Ilmari so distraught* ... Ilmarinen, this was a direct order from our master; your demon. He spoke to both Adolphos and myself and we instructed to go after those who are friends with the boy Yugi, and his 'brother', the ancient pharaoh from millenia ago. I'm sorry these people happen to be your acquaintances...
Ilmari: Acquaintances? *taken aback* They're not aquantiances! They're friends!
Dr. Denavue: No they aren't. They are NOT you're friends, Ilmarinen! I warned you about making friends from the very start! I said if you made friends, they'd end up in danger. And now, the fact that the first friends you've made in so long happen to be our main target only proves it!
Ilmari: *lip quivers* No... No, you're wrong!
Dr. Denavue: No. I'm right. And you know it.
Ilmari: *hangs his head, his bangs hiding his face* Friends or acquaintances, either way, I know them and they are close to me. I beg you... Don't hurt them.
Dr. Denavue: *pause* ... I'm sorry. I can't do that.
Ilmari: *chokes back a sob, and lowers his head further, hiding his tears*
Dr. Denavue: *frowns and repeats himself* I'm sorry, Ilmarinen. I know it hurts... but it's your own fault. I told you to stay with me and no one else, and you didn't. Now, regrettably, you are paying for your mistake.
Ilmari: Paying for mistakes? That's my purpose in life, isn't it? Paying for the mistakes and sins of others, as well as myself... And now you place your mistakes and sins upon me as well...
Dr. Denavue: *eyes widen at those words* What?
Ilmari: *looks at Denavue seriously* You sided with Darkness- pure sin. And now you kill innocent people... to feed my demon... to make me die... and destroy this world. You added the burden of serving evil upon my shoulders, and so did Mother and Father, Adolphos, his demon army, and my demon himself...
Dr. Denavue: *heart stings; he cares for Ilmari in a unique way* Ilmarinen... Don't stress yourself with these thoughts-
Ilmari: *interrupts him cynically* - because I'll loose my precious energy?
Dr. Denavue: ... No. Because I want you... to have the happiest life possible, before that chance disappears from sight.
Ilmarinen: It's a bit late for that. *looks at his hands* The demon's already come out about 2 or 3 times. It's begun. Happiness is gone now.
Dr. Denavue: ... *can't think of what to say*
Ilmari: *hangs his head and gives up* Goodnight, Doctor. I'm sorry I bothered you. It seems... there's not much I can do. *bows his head, turns, and leaves*
Dr. Denavue: ... What happened to his infamous optimism? He sounds so... nihilistic... *gulps; just the thought scares him*
-----
I leave the tent, defeated and depressed. Dr. Denavue's right. I can't do anything. I gave in to fate and destiny years ago... There's no way I can resist now. Even if others may suffer for it...
Forgive me, my... acquaintances. I tried.
