Their smiling faces give him a moment of reprieve, and then...glass shards fall and hit the ghostly forms of people he might form bonds with, their smiling faces turning to disgust. They let go as if burned. And Kaiba falls again, straight into a drab and desolate cage. The door slams shut, and familiar cold laughter echoes in his ears.
"Only a fool denies who they are...and I didn't raise a fool."
