[Ryou was...trying to find the right thing to say...to keep Atem from doing what he does...?
And...why does Ryou look so scared?]
Ryou...you knew this would happen. You know what I am. What I do. You specifically didn't make me promise not to, because -- I thought you understood.
[That he isn't the sort of person who will let things like this slide, that he'd avenge Ryou just the same as any other friend, or even any human being hurt unfairly--why would Ryou's pain matter less to him? Does Ryou understand him at all...?]
....but you were actually...trying to influence me away from going?
[Were you trying to manipulate him? Control him? Ryou Bakura. He expected better.]
It was for you, but not only for you. There were others. And there are others, who I want to protect. I can't save them from what comes in with the fog...but I can do something to keep other monsters away.
