cw child abuse & its psychological aftereffects

[ Marik lets himself be led, wrapped, comforted, he's always wanted someone to save him, and for it to be this person, of all people....he can follow his King because he chooses to, because the Pharaoh deserves it... ]

The Gods were right...I could never. Have assembled them. [ Could never have held the power of a King. ] But they came to you, even here...

[ It's going to be okay. The Pharaoh is here. With his skills and Marik's brain, there's nothing they can't do. He can figure out what to do about....the whole circumstances with his father....later. They only have so much time. Until Yugi eats souls. Until Marik - whatever happens to Marik, happens. Until the Fog regains her strength.

....he killed his father and now the Pharaoh is saying the urges that led him to do that were right and he doesn't know what to do with that because it feels good and killing your father isn't supposed to feel good it's, like, the one kind of killing Marik can't condone in pursuit of a goal, but he wants absolution so badly it hurts, wants it all to....

....burn...?

In the sun, that must be it. In the sun. ]


I could have never been worthy....Not with....

[ He stares at his hands. Someone pitted him and his father...against each other? If he'd never had to live down there, then he never would have resented it....

....how is he supposed to avenge a death when he doesn't know who the cause is? ]


...but I'll help you. If you're ever able to go after the people who did this to me. Us. My family.

I'll do anything....

[ his father is dead. ]
