Yugi isn't sure. Part of him leaps at the idea of saying 'Yes.' He's the one that supports them all, brings them together, and helps them achieve what they need to do. Which must mean that finding those memories is more important than helping him sort out how to move forward with everything. The other part knows it's a question that already has an answer. Atem has made up his mind and said it several times.
They don't need to. Not yet. He doesn't want to do it yet.
He wonders how much of that is because of the last time he tried to reach out for those memories. The Orichalcos Great Leviathan bared them from being able to obtain them. Then it was one thing after another. Blow after blow. Maybe.... maybe his other self doesn't want to retrieve them yet because he's afraid of what might happen this time? They've both expressed not wanting to be separated from one another. Maybe the idea of that happening is something neither of them are ready to face yet.
Should they push each other then if that's the case?
A small frown touches his face then. Maybe it's not the fact he feels guilty that they've yet to retrieve his memories. It might be that he's sensing both of their worries and apprehensions over what might come next. It's just easier to focus on the present. How long can they go on like this?
He blinks at the answer. Almost as if it takes a moment to settle inside his heart with the other thoughts swirling around. ]
But, when I first solved the Puzzle, you didn't have to. You could of stood by... [ and let him, Joey, and Tristan continually get beaten down at every point. ] You didn't know anything about us then, right? Or were you able to tell what was happening outside the Puzzle even when it wasn't together?
[ He knows that somehow Atem helped him hastily put the Puzzle back together in that warehouse. But, that was after their bond was made. They were connected even if they couldn't talk to one another without the Puzzle being put together.
Yugi looks down. ]
You could of just done what the spirit of the Millennium Ring did. You could of just kept taking over whenever you wanted, and I never would of remembered it...
