Atem, I...I don't want you to have to feel like you understand my decision to keep something from you.
[Ryou finally looks down, but his hand doesn't leave Atem's cheek. He's quiet for a moment, stroking his finger across the other monster's cheek, but he feels lost.
He's done something awful...and now he's not sure he can fix it. He's not even sure how to fix it, because at the end of the day, he'd made the person most important to him feel as if he wasn't important at all.]
I don't want to have secrets from you. That's not what this was. It wasn't meant to be a secret, it just...g-got out of hand! I wanted to spend time with a friend...someone who I wasn't even there for while he was struggling with his own hunger, and...and I just...I'm sorry that my decisions caused you to feel unimportant.
[Even as he says it, Ryou shakes his head. No matter what he intended, it's about what he actually did. Even going to Yugi's apartment had been a bad decision. He was just going there to vent. To put his problems on Yugi.
