[The other Yugi might not know who, or what, he is. His memories might come from other-hims that aren't the same as the him he is right now. But one of the things he wants to be is someone who's there for his friends. He wants to protect their hearts.

He looks at Ryou with sympathy, when he mentions the circus -- going mad, hurting others...that must have been terrible, too.

(At this point he still doesn't know Javert's in prison for the circus thing!)]

...I think we both needed someone to talk to.

[Because even though he was trying to get Ryou to tell him what was wrong...the other Yugi needed to hear the advice he got, too.

He wonders about it when Ryou says how hard it is to be separated. How close is what Ryou experienced to...to how he used to live?]

I might know a thing or two about finding yourself more alone in your head than you're used to. And not being sure about who you are, when you're not who you remember being.

[this dumb boy has no idea ryou already knows so he's confessing this like it's a real weird secret.]
