[Ryou listens. He listens and processes all of that as the other Yugi offloads his entire agenda for probably...if he had to guess?
A day.
Is that pity? No...not really pity in its rawest form. Ryou just feels a strong need to support his friend, and he's glad that being a Shade hadn't stripped that from him. He's not really sure where to start at this point though.]
Yugi. Listen. If you need help, I can assist you with any of that, but if you spend all your time doing it and end up tired anyway, then how prepared can you possibly end up?
[Remember. Ryou's a DM. He spends all his time planning things out for the enjoyment of others, and also plays both sides. Villain and support. Surprisingly, this is pulling him from the edge of a breakdown for the moment, because this is something he wants to do. Help. He knows what it's like to be stripped down to nothing but an anxious nerve, to question what you could have done differently to keep from suffering.
...So not a 20. But pretty high.]
You're going to run yourself ragged over something that you couldn't control, and then the next time it happens, nothing will change, because you're going to be stockpiled and ready while you're hardly able to stand and face it. Ryslig is an ugly place with misguided people, and the bad things won't stop. But more than solars and dead man switches, don't you think you could stand to lean on a friend?
[A pause. This next part isn't to guilt the other Yugi, despite what it sounds like. Ryou can't help but to ask it...because this is where his own heart is weak.]

Aren't we friends? Can't you depend on me?
