[That will come in time... maybe... Out of the two of them, at least Yugi didn't peace out to the afterlife. That's gotta count for something.]
I mean... fair. I just really don't want something I like to eat to suddenly have eyes on it, you know? [There's an awkward chuckle. Yugi doesn't think he's asking for too much here. Except he might be, given everything Kaiba has been freely telling him so far.]
[Oh, good. Short jokes. His favourite. Luckily, he doesn't seem bothered by it at all in the face of being offered a ride on said jet anyway. In fact he looks pretty darn excited.] I hope that one isn't a joke. I'm definitely going to take you up on that some time, just so I can see for myself.
It's a little more than 'supposedly', I promise. [He won't be taking that one lying down, after all. It's the one thing he won't hesitate to fight back on.] But I'll try to be that open book you seem to think I am, and tell you anything you like. Some things might be more... difficult to explain than others. You've been open with me though, so I'll do my best! [Earnest as ever, but even an outsider would agree that fair was fair in this case. Kaiba had been nothing but candid, as far as Yugi could tell. But he listens to the description of these dreaded 'phenomena.' Kaiba is right, it sounds like the common thread is being 'open', but the other one, and the one Yugi is perhaps a little more concerned about is--] They also all sound like they have to do with exploring memories, which... isn't surprising, considering what you've said about this place taking and trying to use ideas from people brought here. [Yugi might be an 'open book', but he has some particular thoughts about memories and the taking and twisting and sharing thereof.] Those should stay where they belong. I don't mind if my memories have to be shared when they're just me, but... when they involve other people [other pharaohs or CEOs or friends or villains' painful thoughts] those aren't mine to share.
[A pause, before he ponders his next move. Like any good duelist.] Like I said earlier, Dartz is done with. There's nothing else to do on that front. That's probably as good a place as any to start.
