[ Of course, confidence isn't something that can be poured out and shared, but if Atem could share his with Yugi, or even give all of it to him, he would without hesitation. Because Yugi, as he sees him, is brimming with promise and potential, and people like him are the future that the world needs, while those like Atem are the past. Even the Tombkeepers represent the old ways, even though it's possible to move forward into the future while still honoring the past. But as far as Atem is concerned, he's a relic of an ancient past, and there's only so much that he can do.
For Yugi and the rest of his friends, however, there's so much still for them to do and accomplish, and he's confident that they can do it.
As for Anzu, if he could just tell her plainly that while he will always consider her a good friend, Yugi's been waiting for her to notice him for a very long time. But then again, he supposes that's not entirely his place, even if there's nothing that he wouldn't do for his partner and friend. He wishes there was some way that he could make her see that Yugi has a lot to offer; if she's looking for someone who will stick by her through thick and thin and give her all the kindness and even love that he can manage, Yugi's the one who would do that without question.
Atem might have confidence and bravado, but Yugi's the one with real heart. He hasn't given up on trying to point Anzu and Yugi towards each other. ]
Yes, we will, one way or another. [ And then he smiles a smaller smile while shaking his head with something like amusement. ]
Well, Yugi, I could say the same thing about you and- A certain someone that we've talked about before. [ But he knows he has to be careful to not push too hard, or to become an annoyance to Yugi. He knows that Yugi's mind is made up concerning Anzu and her feelings, or her lack of them.
So he resolves to just give him one last tease, and then he'll let the subject lie for now.
He watches as Yugi takes control and begins moving. Atem also hears that scratching noise and looks around as if trying to find where it's coming from. When Yugi opens the door and they both spot the black and white dog, Atem just looks at him with confusion. ]
Where did he come from? [ And more importantly, for what reason is he here? ]
