Haou brainwashed him a while back. He told Haou you were the one who beat him and when Haou found out he was lying he, uh...well, if you're asking you probably know what he's like now.

[ephemeral_prism]

Brainwashed? He can do that?

Actually, I don't know about that. When I saw him, he was... I don't even know how to describe it. Lost? Defeated? That doesn't even come close. He didn't seem genocidal or at all like Misawa described him.

[split_hero]

I guess so. Otherwise Kaiser wouldn't be like this.

Lost? Defeated? I know he got all upset before, but...I never saw him like that before.

[ephemeral_prism]

He was so... I don't know. He kept saying that everything was all his fault and that I didn't deserve to have such a selfish friend, and he kept apologizing. It was awful... I've never seen him act like that before. I... There was nothing I could do about it. I felt so useless, just sitting there watching him fall apart like that...

Guess you're a friend of theirs. I'm Otogi Ryuuji. Fubuki and I are dating. And we've been doing what we can to try to find a way to help Ryou.

If you want to know what really happened, I can show you. It isn't pretty. I advise not eating before you see it.

[ephemeral_prism]

I... Yes. I want to know. I want to help, and I can't if I don't know what's happened.

[green_eyed_dice]

All right. Where are you at?

[ephemeral_prism]

Paj-Enas.

As the other said, Haou brainwashed Ryou. Ryou now thinks it is foolish to oppose Haou and should be his slave.

How exactly is Haou your fault?

Re: Hacked/Screened

[ephemeral_prism]

It's... kind of a long story.

Re: Hacked/Screened

[forgetsthemilk]

The more information, the better. It may just help both of them. He had an interesting reaction when you were talked about.

Well... We were stuck in an alternate dimension, and the only way to get out was to defeat Yubel - who apparently used to be a friend of Juudai's - in a duel. Juudai and I... we dueled her, and I used the Rainbow Dragon to beat her so everyone could get home. But... it also made me lose as well, so I was forced to stay behind. I... I didn't mind though, if it meant everyone else was safe. But... Apparently Juudai found a way back into the alternate dimension to try and rescue me... and that was when he became the Haou. If only there was something... I know there had to be something I could've done differently so Juudai didn't have to go through all that just to save me...

What sort of 'interesting reaction'?

[black_seaweed]

It's all because I didn't stay with him that day... because I left him alone, and wasn't there to help him when Haou came and did whatever it was he did inside his head...

It's because I didn't... that he's...

[ephemeral_prism]

.....................

............Fujiwara?

Whatever happened to him, I'm sure it's not your fault. It's my fault.

[black_seaweed]

...That is my family name, yes. Fujiwara Yusuke.

...your tone suggests that you recognize my name?

And it is at least partly my fault... for leaving him...

[ephemeral_prism]

I'm Johan Andersen. We've kind of met in my world. We... dueled each other.

But... if Juudai hadn't become Haou in the first place... and that's my fault.
