It's almost Halloween, I notice. I believe Kaiba's birthday was on the 25th. Pity I can't wish him a happy one. Not that he'd particularly care for it, especially not here.

Anzu...Are you still here? If you are, please answer. I need to ask you a question.

Halloween? Is this something I should know about?

[completedgame]

Halloween is a holiday where people dress up in costumes and go door to door for candy. It's more of an American holiday than anything, but the day in general is believed by many cultures in my world to be when spirits return for one night. 'All Hallows Eve' is the proper name.

Very interesting. So people pretend to be things they are not in order to acquire sweets and spirits come back from the dead for a night.

Sounds like...fun.

Pretty much, yes. Reverence for the dead goes back a long way in my world - even today, in a lot of countries people build shrines for their loved ones and pack it with their favorite foods so that they can return to the afterlife well-fed. Which...might be where the candy part of the holiday comes from.
