That makes sense. I just...wouldn't want to put you out over something selfish, you know? I don't really need something like that, but I don't...like what I see in the mirror.

[Ryou finds himself thankful every day that he has someone he can talk to about these kinds of things. Admitting that this scar badly affects his self-image was already hard enough, but if it's Atem...then he can do it. Anyone else and he'd have hidden it away, gone in circles trying to figure out an appropriate solution without bothering anyone else about it.

But...Atem isn't bothered, is he? He doesn't sound bothered.]

I'd try it. It doesn't bother you to wear it, right? Does it feel different?

[What if he doesn't feel comfortable? Then he's wasting Atem's time, isn't he? But it would be worse if he didn't try it. It was Atem's idea.]
