[ It hasn't hit him until now, but he's realizing that he regrets what he told her earlier about his wishes for Yugi. He still wishes for only the best for his partner, but not at the cost of Lunafreya's happiness. Perhaps his perceptions are wrong, but he feels like the gap between them is only widening with every minute that passes, and all he can think is that it's because he said what he did about his partner.
If that's the case, then this is just another example of how he brings everyone around him down.
Of course, he doesn't plan on letting her go; he wants nothing more than to be with her and be near her. But what started out as a sinking feeling in the back of his mind has increased to a thought that he's only bringing trouble and unhappiness to the lives of his friends.
Her life might be dangerous, and she might have no shortage of political enemies, but has he brought any safety or security to her life since their paths crossed? Hardly.
This time, he lowers his head just slightly so that his eyes are hidden, perhaps not as effectively as all the times she used her long hair to her advantage, but the effect is similar. ]
If you need to rest, I'll be right here. [ He speaks quietly, his tone having dropped a few notches, as those swirling clouds of guilt and regret threaten to pull him down once more. ] I won't- [ He hears his voice falter, but he pushes forward once again. ] I won't leave you.
[ At least, not yet. The urge to return to his soul room and remain there is strong, but he's given her his word and he means to hold to it. ]
