He's pleased to hear Ryou's family would have liked him, delighted even: it's important for your boyfriend's family to accept you if you're serious, right? But, Ryou's sad again...]

...remembering family that's gone...it's good to have memories of them, but it can still make you feel lonely, if you think about them long enough.

[He knows that now. Atem's family...they've been dead for so long...they're separated by an ocean of time, and any remains might not even have made it, or been identifiable if they had...]

But I'm glad I got to see them. Maybe one day, I'll be able to show you something like it.
