[ He doesn't mean to sound as if he's brushing off the concern of his best friend or what he's saying. He does understand it. Really. It's just..
Yugi knows what it is deep down. He's scared. He's afraid that he can only be who he is now is when his friends are there. What happens when they leave? What if everything goes back to how it was before when it was only Anzu? Except, he won't even have Anzu there. Her eyes are forward and moving onto America... or they're on Atem. There are times he feels as if Anzu's already moved on from him and maybe she has.
He frowns. How can he not do it? How can he sit by, knowing they have everything his other self needs to get his memories back, and do nothing to get them back? Ultimately it is Atem's choice and he knows it. If the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle has to decide when and if he wants his memories back. Still, Yugi can't help but feel guilty, as if he's the reason Atem doesn't want them. That thought alone is crushing in its own way. Does he hold Atem back from what he needs to do? Does taking care of him, being his protector, keep him locked in the endless maze of the Puzzle?
Yugi's focus snaps back to his partner from the wandering thoughts as he continues to speak. He doesn't feel like the greatest friend or the best partner. He feels torn between needing the people around him and letting them go. All he feels capable of doing at the moment is staring back at his other self with feelings of regret, frustration, fear and loss. None of those things help either of them.
Maybe that's something his partner can feel coming off of him. ]
