[Ryou can only venture a guess as to who Atem's talking about. Maybe...it's Daniel? He can't be sure, though given the description, it could very well have been. Daniel had tortured him, and any manner of weapon could be brought to bear for such a task.]
You wouldn't do that, though, would you? You'd never do anything for...for the Fog. You wouldn't hurt any of us for her, because we're all a part of your heart. That's what you always say...your friends...they're part of you.
Atem, I'm so sorry that you're being hurt like this. The horror of it...how you've held yourself up for so long would be more than anyone could bear.
[And speaking of what anyone could bear...Ryou is struggling. His arm is shaking, his whole chest is burning with the effort of holding up a body that didn't want to be held up. But he endures it. If he wanted Atem to be there for him, then he's going to be there for Atem. For better or worse, this is what his heart urges him to do.
He leans in close, presses his forehead to Atem's, closing his eyes so that the glow of them can't be bothersome.]
You wouldn't snuff the light out of Yugi's eyes anymore than you would stab yourself in the heart. That's not the reality I choose to believe in.
[And trust him, he knows about some fucked realities.]
Please...don't let the darkness win here. You don't have to be strong all the time because you have people. [You have me, he wants to say, but he doesn't.] But don't give up.
