[Ryou is quiet for some time after that, trying to gather up his thoughts here. The other Yugi was extremely good at reading everyone, and Ryou feels astoundingly validated and outright seen at this point. It's all he ever really wanted, was to be seen for who he truly was.

Maybe Noa was right. These two could gain something from being around each other after all.]

...No. I don't want to be that person. I've never been so reactive in my life unless others were in danger. Of course I get angry, and of course I speak my mind when needed, but to actively try and hurt someone with my words is not who I want to be. Nor is being the one to attack another physically.

I know I don't have a choice with it here, but at least with him, I thought that was an option. It's upsetting that it's not possible to reconcile, but I don't think I'm going to try for a while.

[He exhales softly, then glances at the other Yugi more intently.]

Just so that you're aware...this isn't how I'll behave as a roommate all the time. I'm, um. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've been causing you, Yugi. With the rain, and now with this. I was upset, but this is not your responsibility to deal with, even if we are friends.
