[ 'Don't I?' He can't help but feel that he should be stronger than this, more capable of shouldering this latest problem on top of all the others that they've had to see to lately. 'I know that's what we need to do, but I don't know how to do it.' That admission doesn't come easily to him, but there's no reason to hide things from Yugi, not when he can sense most of Atem's emotions anyway.
But then he shifts just slightly so that he can whisper into Lunafreya's ear words that are only meant for her: As long as you want me to be here, I won't be leaving you.
It's one of the few things he's certain of, even as those swirling clouds of darkness surround him and threaten to pull him down once more. The feel of Lunafreya's hands on him feels like he's being pulled back and away from their too-strong grip. How is it that she can still be strong in the middle of her own trial, even if she doesn't realize it? Not for the first time, he thinks that she truly is stronger than him.
