[Ryou just watched, a sentinel gripping the film reel and seeing a foolish man with no trust in his heart absolutely end his entire life. The other Yugi was putting it lightly--he'd done more than to end his career.
And yet...though he should be focused on his task, Ryou instead turns towards the woman, Katrina, and she gives him pause because he can't quite figure out why she's so scared. She doesn't think they're going to kill her too...does she?
For just a moment, he turns to face her and there's a tiny flicker of something. But he doesn't act completely on it, and instead just inclines his head to the side to express confusion, his eyes almost closing.]
We won't hurt you. We're doing what we have to do.
[He releases the film reel, levitating it towards her with his powers and setting it at her feet before turning towards Jorgen.
He has a job to do. It's probably fortunate that the cameraman is paralyzed, but his soul needs to be the first to go, and the other Yugi can't afford to wait too long on Ryou to extricate it so that the blood was freed up.
If he was only able to feel a sense of shame for this, he might actually drag the listless body out of sight, be a monster where Katrina couldn't see. But...it's like he told her.
As he reaches down and picks up her soon-to-be-former coworker up by his shirt with one hand and the other reaches into his chest to take what he needs...he keeps in mind that the monsters here are doing what they've been bid to do by their circumstances. Ryou never wanted this. But he's been forced to live his nightmares out because he was made into something dark and twisted.]
