[Ryou looks almost...guilty at that point. He hadn't meant to tell the other Yugi about this, not until they'd perhaps gotten a bit more comfortable together. Ryou carries his uncertainties with him even now, and that has nothing to do with his muddled memories. It has everything to do with his second-hand knowledge of who he still called friend, despite his exclusion from the memory world.
To put it simply...it wasn't his place to bring it up.
It didn't mean that his knowledge existed in a vacuum though. He was there for the duel between Yugi and his longtime partner. He knew...and maybe he should have been more tactful after all.]
I knew you existed as an individual. We are friends, but I didn't want to press myself upon you, since I knew that you didn't really remember me. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset. Your connections with the others--Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda--those are your strongest bonds! That's why they stayed with you in February! It wasn't...my place, you see?
And...
Well, I thought you had quite enough to deal with, being here and all.
