[It's terribly lonely already, not having Atem touching him. But instead of closing the distance, Ryou instead pulls a loop of his snake body forward. First one section, then another overlapping it, until he has a snake shelf to lean on, so to speak. He can't make himself look less lonely though, or less pained.]

Some checked on me, because they heard us...others I invited over. I was...haha, I was a mess the first day or two.

[He doesn't look at Atem when he says the next part.]

But I thought it would just be...a day or two. I suppose that's my fault, for thinking that we could fix everything in such a short time. You had no reason to trust me as a nephilim.

...I like being close to you, Atem. You're the person I can trust most in this place. If you think that's wrong, then...we should talk about it now.

[Clear the air.

He isn't giving Atem appeasement behaviors now, not when he has had time to acknowledge, through talking things out with people, that he isn't the only party here who had made missteps.

They need to figure this out, or...

Or...Ryou isn't sure what.]
