[Oh, he's over it. But a good duelist keeps these things in mind, just in case. Like when needing evidence to confirm whether someone is or is not petty. Like now.] No one's expecting either of us to become his best friend after everything. But he did get me and my friends where we needed to be. He was reliable when he was given an opportunity.
[Yugi unfortunately (fortunately?) cannot read minds, so the amount of time they have come up in memories here or the source or extent of Kaiba's discomfort isn't super apparent. I don't doubt it. We've only known each other for so long. I would expect Mokuba to be in there even more. [And on top of that, while he doesn't mention it out loud, Yugi had been there for the Noa shenanigans and all that it entailed (see: Gozaburo). Kaiba certainly had a number of memories to draw from that didn't include him or Atem.]
[He shakes his head.] No, you had to be there. We all did. That was the point. If one of us hadn't, things may have gone differently. [ And then he shoots another frown. Don't you even think about talking bad about Jounouchi.] In either event, by the end of the tournament KaibaCorp isn't any worse for wear, from what I'm aware of. I mean, maybe you didn't tell us anything more, I can't be sure. [A pause, and then almost as an afterthought:] Oh, and the Other Me wins in the finals, so you don't have to worry about the title going anywhere because of the tournament.
