[ His confidence has nothing to do with Atem being in control, or handling their duels. He's never had self-confidence. It's why he stayed unseen and unnoticed by so many outside those who were looking to bully someone. Maybe it comes from the fact his father is never around, or because people look down at the idea of games these days. Whatever the reason it started, it was only once he met the spirit in the Millennium Puzzle that it started to change.
If anything? What little confidence he has is owed to Atem.
Anzu's eyes are set on his other self. It's the presence and certainty he brings that makes draws her attention. Yugi can tell, because he has only ever been the childhood friend -- even before he solved the Puzzle. Anzu has never shown romantic interest that Yugi can see... and what's the point now? Long distance relationships rarely work out. She'll find someone else in New York that shares her passion or will sweep her off her feet. He's already given up on the possibility of it happening, and it's no fault of Atem's. ]
We'll see, I guess.
[ Maybe his other self is right and he'll find someone sooner than he thought. ]
Good. Because, I'd tell her if she didn't.
[ Yugi forces himself to give a playful grin. He's learned how to tease his other self... especially when he is usually the one being teased.
He moves to say something else but stops. Yugi lifts his head, looking around for the source of the sudden sound he hears. It sounds like scratching. That's when he realizes it's not from inside his soul room. With a glance over to Atem and a nod to show that he's leaving, Yugi forces himself to take control of his body once again.
Oh, he's on the bed.
Yugi forces himself up and out of the bed despite the protest he can feel his body giving. It seems like the emotional exhaustion is translating to a physical one. Well, he can address that later. For now he moves to his bedroom door, as the source seems to be from the other side. He opens the door and his eyes widen in surprise. ]
Umbra?
[ The black and white Shiba Inu let's out a small grumble. It's obvious he doesn't intend to bark to alert the others in the house of his presence. ]
