[No seriously who does he have to penalty game. The fact that this was done, in his name...! He's so mad. Hopping mad. His hair snakes are agitated, hissing, but not threatening Marik; they're directionless, lacking a target, but oh boy do not attempt a boop.]

As if that were ever a question!

I'm sorry the family you served...turned out to be capable of things like this... This isn't the only sin they've committed. I don't know how many more I'll learn about, before the end! The memories I'm supposed to regain must contain terrible darkness.

[But he might have to get them back, at this point...Atem needs to know who was responsible, who decided to send an entire family underground, force them to torture their children, and blame it on "fate." Just thinking about it sets off the kind of anger that comes with rumbling sound-effects on the panel. He's been slipping in and out of that rage for the last minute or two.]

But of course you'll be free. All of you -- any other survivors -- you'll be released from any obligation you had to me.

[Because, even if it's important for getting his memories back, any service the Tombkeepers are able to perform for him...that should be given freely, earned through friendship, not coerced through brainwashing and hurt and fear. If he can't earn their loyalty himself, then he doesn't deserve to have their help! Not after what they suffered, for him.]
