I guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake but still felt like reviewing even if this never gets read.
I got a strong overall picture of Ryou's mental instability and Yugi's need nurture and protect him, but there weren't enough details complete the puzzle so to speak. It could be that I'm missing something obvious but did you ever give an explanation of how Ryou lives through his drowning episodes? That was really the only thing that caught me up. Either way I enjoyed reading and hope there will be continuation.
