[His eyes widen as Ryou talks very easily about when I remove their soul, they won't struggle anymore, and I don't think we can be terribly choosy.
This is the most he's ever heard Ryou talk about hunting, and it's horrifying to hear. He doesn't always think of it like this, does he...? No -- no, he can't. The other Yugi's sure of it.
(Then again, he'd been so sure Riley was innocent, that she couldn't kill three people and frame a fourth for it--)
For a moment, the other Yugi wonders if Ryou did get possessed after all, if one of those things managed to survive the mass extinction and cling onto his friend, and the other Yugi feels a stab of fear that gets him right down to the bone.]
You've never talked like this before.
[As evenly as he can:]
Ryou, what's wrong with you?
[It's not a moral accusation, not a "how could you say such a thing?"
It's no, really, what's different, and are we going to have to fight.]
