(but you still did something wrong)
and he knows that what he's doing is charting a path down an inescapable road of agony. Ryou doesn't want to hate himself.
(you should)
He just does, with particular regard to this. There's something uncomfortable and angry in him, and he's begun to grow very familiar with it and isolate it as something that's joined the low hum of emotions he can't really control, ever since January.
...Those same angry, dark emotions are brought to attention when Atem mentions a penalty. His glowing eyes focus up, not because he wants to suffer that penalty, but because his brain's eating itself alive.
(you deserve it you deserve it you broke it you have to fix it)]
...Tell me what I can do. I want to make it right. I don't want to end up like...like them.
[Congratulations, Atem. You have found the correct dialogue.]
