But it doesn't matter, because I don't know what's wrong or how we're supposed to help.
[ That's why he's hoping Gentiana can intervene, because whatever is happening here seems to far beyond his sphere of knowledge, and the last thing he wants is to do something that might cause more damage than has already been done.
It doesn't seem strange to him that some measure of his resolve has returned now; he still has many questions and even more uncertainty about himself and his ability to move forward, both as Yugi's partner and as a duelist, but none of that matters. What matters is helping Lunafreya, however he can; if he even dares to attempt helping her, that is.
And while he is beyond relieved that Yugi has returned, and that their group of friends is slowly beginning to recover... They've suddenly dropped down a rung or two on the list of Atem's priorities. Oh, they're still important, of course, but do they trump being here for Lunafreya? No, not at all. They will always mean the world to him, but she means everything to him as well. He won't put this thought into words, but at least in his mind, she's already become the most important person in his life, standing alongside Yugi. So because of that, there really is nowhere else he wants or needs to be right now besides right here.
He watches with some nervousness as she tries to stand, doing his best to remain close by so that he can catch her when she falls. She seems to be in no shape to be doing this on her own, and yet she also seems to be trying to rebuff him from helping.
When Yugi reaches out to help, so does Atem, because even if Lunafreya doesn't wish to allow him to take on all her weight and support her, he already intends to do just that.
He's about to voice a statement of agreement with Yugi's conclusion, but the arrival of Pryna both interrupts and distracts him from what he was about to say. ]
I didn't either, but I'm not surprised. [ He glances over at Pryna then, as if asking her how she wants to see about moving her owner from where she's standing (barely) to the bed. At any other time, this might seem strange, but he's always known or suspected that Pryna and Umbra weren't just ordinary dogs. ]
