Chapter 1: Duel 1&2
Dear Dad,
"Or should I say “Dear Special Agent David Rossi" since you’re back at the BAU. Congrats by the way! Mom is proud of you too (even if she doesn't say it out loud.) Suppose I better update you on some things around Domino.
Eight years ago, grandpa gave me this ancient puzzle box from Egypt. It read ‘Whoever solves this puzzle shall be granted one wish!’ I know it sounds silly but it really worked! See there’s this kid in my class Katsuya Jonouchi, he’s a bit...rough around the edges but he has a good heart (even if he enjoyed playing keep away with my puzzle…) heck, he helped me out with dealing with bullies...in his own way...though they usually involve fists…
But! Regardless, my wish for friends came true with Jonouchi-kun. He even loaned me his copy of Love Girls (that Anzu-chan intercepted and...still hasn't returned.)
Okay, those are the positives, the negatives however; See, the night after I solved the Millennium Puzzle, I blacked out. I chalked it up as me being tired since I was up all night but when I got back to school the school thug Ushio seemed to have lost his mind. He was rolling around in leaves and garbage! (Guess he deserved it after trying to extort money from students). Then, just a few days ago this TV producer had someone rough Jonouchi and I up for his "documentary" on bullying...that was when another blackout happened. Next day, there was a news coverage about the guy going into hysterics about the world being pixelated.
I really don't know what's going on. Mom thinks the blackouts are from stress at school, maybe she’s right. Ms. Chono has been tough on everyone with homework...well in any case, I have to cut this short, Jonouchi and I are going to try to get the tape back from Anzu.
Sincerely
Yugi"

David looked at the letter with a hint of concern before voicing out. “Hey Reid! Can a person get a blackout from stress?”
The young profiler looked up from a file with a perplexed expression. “If you mean a Psychogenic blackout, the answer would be yes. Though, it's a term for a blackout that can look like an epileptic seizure or reflex syncope. What are the details of the attack you're asking?”
“Not sure yet.” David set the letter down and stood up. “I have to do a little late night shopping, let me know if we get anything interesting!”
