Bakura made a little amused noise under his breath. "Thirty centuries. That's long long I've been sealed into the Ring without any options to communicate with the rest of the world. No way of contact, only watching at best."

His expression turned serious at the memory and he focused his gaze on the plate in front of him. "That's also why I was that off when I finally got out again. After a while you begin to forget things even when you don't want to..." He shook his head as if he needed to wake himself. When Bakura looked back up his storm-grey eyes very clear. "It was maddening, but I never missed anyone."
