[Ryou hates how it feels, to have Atem shuddering there. It's not that he hates Atem showing weakness, exactly. He simply abhors the very fact that anything could shake him so completely. This was one of the strongest people he has ever met.
And to reward his strength, he was put through so much, this place was working so hard to break Atem down to nothing, wasn't it? With the hydra, with what Daniel had done...all of it.
Wincing, Ryou pulls away and uses his arm to push himself up, and his own tired, glowing eyes stare down on Atem. Tired, yes. Pained, maybe...but determined.]
You are here. You're with me...and you're not that person. You can never...ever be that person.
[Atem couldn't be the kind of person that would hurt Yugi. He couldn't be the person who was subservient to the Fog God. And he certainly wouldn't carve his friends up in service of the Fog.]
