[Ryou listens as he sorts out ingredients, and his own glowing eyes close just a little, because he's thinking about it all. He's happy Yugi is here too, but it had to be better for the other him, the one who he'd shared his heart and body with for so long. They were close, almost enviably close, but Ryou doesn't envy it like that.

He's happy that the other Yugi's happy. And if it helps him to be something else besides "the other Yugi", then Ryou will support him wholeheartedly. He isn't even sure if he'd have the heart to stop calling this happy soon-to-be-named pharaoh Yugi if that was what he really wanted.

But here they are. And so Ryou reaches a hand out, hesitantly at first, then he firmly places it on his friend's shoulder.]

It's alright to borrow something for a little while, you know, if you know when to give it back. I didn't mind calling you Yugi. You were Yugi to me for years, after all.

But I think everyone will adjust perfectly fine to your name. And with Yugi here, it's like having your best friend, isn't it? Your own best friend who looks like you. The one you cherish the most. Someone you would wholeheartedly support, and who you know would support you.

[He hesitates, because part of him still feels like what he's about to disclose is Yugi's privilege. But it was Ryou that was chosen...and for just a moment, he wants to hold onto that warm feeling and return the trust in the best way he can.]

You're very strong for giving his name back to him, like a gift. Try to think of yours as a gift too...Atem.
