[Ryou says he's not angry, but he's shaking -- he's not all right with it, he's not forgiven it. Atem thinks. How to fix this....this barely-contained hurt? How...does he help?
He remembers Ryou's anger over his former spirit leaving him out of the tabletop game.
He says he's not angry. But...]
If you need to be angry, I understand.
I wanted to help change those things: I wanted you to have people around you who you could rely on, who could rely on you -- people you liked. As many of them as you wanted to have. But I still knew where you hurt, and because of that, that beast knew how to hurt you.
You can say anything you like, and I won't be mad. Consider this a free pass: for the next minute, anything you want to get out, you can say. I can take it!
[No vengeance, no penalty games, no grudges. He wouldn't do this for just anyone!]
