friendship was a mistake [closed]

They all needed a vacation, he'd said. They should take it together, he'd said.

After that little bit of uncharacteristic thoughtfulness on Kaiba's part, he regretted it almost immediately. But the plans were now set in motion, too far along to stop without undoing the progress he'd been making these last few weeks.

That was how he found himself on Hano Beach, dressed in his casual beach wear (with cargos. rip.) and sitting on a large trunk full of Stuff. His smaller Pokémon are nearby, playing in a shallow puddle he'd carefully dug for them and stuck an umbrella over.

There's a table with Anela's famous berry smoothies, also with an umbrella over it, and chairs for the humans to sit and relax. Have fun. Try not to kill each other.

"Rest assured, this is only a temporary arrangement." Noa waves at Zahra, who nonchalantly waves back before realizing who's waving, nearly dropping the supplies they were carrying, stepping forward, pausing, looking at who he's talking to, then shrugging and moving on. "I can't imagine that whatever Team Skull Grunt whose Haunter I'm... borrowing is too happy about what I'm doing."

are you implying that you're possessing a ghost noa,

"...you know, it's almost disappointing. How different you are from him." There's a pause as he looks out at the sea, face carefully blank—the same poker face that Gozaburo had taught his world's Seto. "I've been trying to find any singular point where you two split, but as far as I can tell, you just... decided to be better than him at every opportunity."

"...he's amazing." Noa says this with genuine fondness, and an equally genuine smile. No sardonic smirk, no wicked grin, no indulgent leers- for a moment, his guard is completely down. "Mokuba, I mean. The amount of love he feels for you, despite everything that happened- the amount of love he feels for me, despite. Well. Every horrible thing I did to him, which I can assure you far exceeds whatever emotional damages you think you've wrought upon him.

"...I'm glad at least one version of you figured out what was really important, at least."

"I'd be happy to." Noa extends a hand, smiling... not quite warmly, but close enough.

It's progress, at least.

"I'm afraid it wasn't even that heroic." Noa sighs, turning away to look at the ocean. "After regaining the capacity for empathy while in a human body, I was struck with the enormity of everything I had done, and was selfishly, desperately trying to make amends. I thought the only way to redeem myself was to take Gozaburo down with me.

"...thankfully, Anzu didn't particularly take a liking to the idea of a twelve year-old spending his last moments with his horrible father in a display of pointless self-sacrifice and dragged me into the puzzle."

"No robots." Noa's tone is harsh, firm. "Or androids, or what have you.

"Not again.

"Other solutions, though... I would be open to."
