Ryou draws in a long, deep breath, then exhales it slowly, softly from their mouth. He has to be calm.
(he is not calm. atem can probably feel how not calm he is)
He just has to bring it in. Close it all up and be okay. Just pull it in...don't think about how what was said hurt. It's not important. It's not the main focus.]
...A party. This weekend?
[Ryou has to think about it...but he can't think about it like this. So...
Slowly, reluctantly, he slips out of Atem and reconstitutes as a shadow. He's not solid right at the moment, just a black amalgamation with sad, half-lidded eyes. He doesn't go solid yet because he feels...selfish. All the other shades struggle with it, and he's just insulted so many of them. He doesn't deserve it.]
I won't be able to do much partying in my current state. Are you certain you want me to go?
