[ Atem can feel all those things coming off his partner, and suddenly, he finds himself unsure what to do or say. He could go on reassuring him forever that he's not failing in his responsibilities, that it's his responsibility to himself to take care of himself and not push himself too hard. And Atem knows with complete certainty that Yugi could never hold him back.

If he no longer wishes to regain his memories, then that's his choice, and not at all because he's doing it because he believes it's what Yugi wants. He's decided that if he stays, it's because he can't bear to be separated from his partner and his friends. Regaining his memories is something he wants, but he wants to stay with them more. ]

I don't know how else to explain that I'm here because I want to be, and that whatever happens, I'll still be right here.

[ He may be unsure about some things in his life, but one thing he is absolutely sure of is this: he'll stay with Yugi for as long as he wants him to. ]
