[Meaning it and sounding like he means it are still two distant concepts, but much like when he'd looked over at Katrina and said what he did, Ryou does find himself almost, almost feeling conviction.]
I haven't really thought about this being an injury really, but maybe you're right. Perhaps it is. I don't blame it on you though. You know that, right?
[He glances down. If it's anyone's fault, it's his own. He hadn't thought it through, he just wanted to help. The concept of consequences rarely strike him until it's far too late. But he'd do it again, and again and again. It's all a weak person like him can do--to use their conviction to strengthen their soul and pull a Hail Mary out of their hat at the last moment.]
I'd do this again if it helped.
[That sounds believable. There's a firmness in those words, a deep truth about who Ryou Bakura was as a person that didn't need overt emotion to convey the point.]
