[ He isn't certain when it began, but he knows that he associates true happiness with having Yugi and Lunafreya nearby. Knowing that they're with him and safe is all he really needs. And even though Lunafreya isn't with them now, at least some small part of her is, and he focuses on that. He just hopes that wherever she is and whatever she's facing, she remains safe.
When Yugi holds up the box, Atem's expression shifts to one of fondness and appreciation to the two people who have become his whole world. He only hesitates, because this seems like such an unusual reason for them to switch places. But there's no other way around it, and of course, he can't insist that they try it at the same time, because that's simply impossible.
He finds himself momentarily taken aback by Yugi's observation, but rather than deny it or downplay it, after a brief pause, he nods. He does miss her, and there's no pretending that he doesn't. ]
Of course I do. But she has important things that she's doing, and we'll see her again soon enough.
[ It's said to convince himself as much as it is to Yugi. ]
