Tristan Taylor, who had decided to walk to school that morning in order to think some things over, was heading to Domino High School after meeting up with Yugi Moto and Joey Wheeler at their homes. He had gotten some disturbing news earlier last week and now he was having to start his Junior year in high school which was stressful in itself with a equally stressful and majorly huge decision weighing on his shoulders. He didn't want to have anything to do with this particular decision he was having to mull over, but the only problem in Tristan's case was that time was running out very quickly, as it was a family inheritance matter, and his father had a form of heart cancer that was at the terminal stage, the inheritance that had to have a heir to take it on, being his family's, really his father's, corporation level business. It wasn't as Tristan's family's corporation business reached the ranks up there leveled the same with Seto Kaiba's business, but the corporation level business in Tristan's family was still at a pretty high level on the charts and had major rival corporations running up against it equally in rank just as Kaiba's gaming corporation had their rivals. But Tristan's kid brother, Audrey Taylor wasn't of age yet until his next birthday to be able to become the heir to get the corporation, as the age one had to be, exclaimed in their dad's will, that in order to inherit the family's corporation, was 12 years old at least. The corporation inheritance was the only thing that had a rule involving the age though. Audrey's 12th birthday was coming up soon, just a month away in fact, but it didn't seem according to their family's main doctor that Tristan and Audrey's father, a man by the name of Mark Taylor, was going to last that long. So the corporation was going to be inherited by Tristan, and it was making Tristan's blood boil, as he didn't want to run his family's corporation. In earlier years, Tristan might have been content with it, but after what his father did, he for sure didn't care about it anymore.
Yugi and Joey can tell their friend has been majorly irritated and furious all morning. They are both unsure if whether or not to ask him what is going on, Tristan having not told them about the situation he's in, nor anything about his family at all for that matter, as Tristan was already living on his own when Joey and Yugi met him, Joey having met him first, and Yugi having met the both of them later. But Yugi has known having been told by his grandfather and also by the spirit of his millennium puzzle, that even though Yugi's heart is in the right place, and he wants to do his best to help everyone in anyway he can, especially if the one that needs the help is one of his friends, sometimes unless the individual who needs or looks as if they need the help to be given, the matter the individual is dealing with, is one that others don't really have any business getting involved in unless asked to. And Joey, though feeling more of an inclination to interrogate Tristan about why he is so angry, knows this very well too himself.
