The dim light of the apartment cast long shadows over Bakura’s father, who took a heavy gulp of beer. "You could've had a successful career...be a respected businessman...or engineer...hmph...but look at you...artist..." The words hung heavy in the air. Ryou stood frozen, his messy white hair framing a face etched with sorrow. He couldn't swallow the sting. "I'll just...go buy you more beer..." he mumbled, a transparent lie to escape the suffocating atmosphere. As he fled the stinky apartment, rage boiled within him, but his heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs, his body betraying his anger with every painful step.
