[ Of course, Atem would be lying if he said he doesn't feel a connection to the Dark Magician, even though he doesn't fully know why. He's his favorite card, yes, but for reasons he barely understands, there's a feeling in the back of his mind that maybe the Dark Magician once meant much more to him, but with his memories sealed, he can't remember.

He listens thoughtfully as Lunafreya goes on to explain how she communicates with the monsters from the card game. To her, it seems as though they're much more than just monsters or cards, and that's a notion that he can agree with.

Then he turns to glance at Yugi, confusion still clear on his face, but now he just has more questions than before. ]

I suppose that I might have. I've always felt as though there was something drawing me to him, but I just thought that was because he was the card I played most often during duels. [ Or rather, most often when he found himself in a tight spot. ]

I wish that I could remember him as he truly is, not just as a card inside our deck.

[ Of course he can see him standing there in front of them, but that on its own does nothing to restore his sealed away memories.

Evidently, the Magician can see him just as easily as he can see Yugi, so Atem turns to face him next. ] I'm sorry that I can't remember you or why you were important to me.
