Of course they are, but are they more important than helping you?
[ Atem shakes his head, suddenly realizing that he's more sure about this than he has been about anything recently. Of course he knows that regaining his memories isn't something he can just shove aside; Yugi's right in that it's most likely been their goal all along, whether they knew it or not. What else explains the way everything's unfolded so far?
But if it's Yugi's place to make sure that he gets his memories back, then it's his place to support his partner and his friend. He's those things first, and his vessel later. That doesn't mean it isn't important, because he wouldn't be here at all if not for Yugi. But in Atem's mind, Yugi will always be his friend and partner above anything else. ]
Because, Yugi- without you and our friends, I wouldn't be where I am right now.
[ He's not entirely sure where he'd be; still locked inside the Puzzle, he supposes, wandering those never-ending hallways and staircases for the rest of eternity. ]
Helping you when you're in danger is the least that I could do for you and for our friends. [ It helps him too, of course, because Yugi's his vessel, but even then, he knows that he would always try and help Yugi and their friends because they let him into their lives and into their friendship, even though they didn't have to. ]
