Well, I--
...yeah, it's true.

It's just... no matter how prepared I felt for that duel, I knew there was a chance I could of lost. Usually I feel so confident about duels, but all I could picture was how upset you and Yuya and Yuzu would be if things went badly.
So, I left Izumi with some messages for you and them and... that was the message I asked her to give to you.
I just wanted to leave those words for you. I didn't want you to be too upset.
