Against his better judgment...Ryou closes their eyes, and the dam he's built ruptures, bleeding those ugly feelings across the connection they'd forged. He feels like all he's doing is poisoning Atem's heart. Being unhelpful and useless.]
I'm sorry. Your heart is already so full...you don't deserve this.
