[ scrambles backwards and falls on his ass because what is coordination. still tries to put some space in between himself and king, since HE SHOULD NOT BE WANTING TO COME THIS CLOSE TO HIM. not after what he did. no. god no. ]
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry King! [ cue tears. ] I don't know what came over me!
In the sand. I went there with Anubis. W- We bumped into Nine and then... and then, jeez, [ shakes his head. ] he tried to make us fight.
[ stares at his hand, because he can't catch knives. ] He said a bunch of stuff and- and I don't remember much of it. My head's all messed up. I can barely think straight.
[ realizes he's rambling so tries to refocus. ]
And then you were there. I know what I did. I know what I saw. W- With the knife and the sword and... [ grabs at his face and loses himself to all the crying. ] King I'm sorry! I'm no partner.
[ reaches for king's face and tugs him close so the two of them are now forehead to forehead. shuts his eyes and tries to calm himself long enough to say, ]
But it was so real.
[ he's going to have to cling to the possibility that it was just a bunch of bullshit, because otherwise he's going to be useless this entire round. ]
I trust you.
[ so he'll say that again. he's as good to go as he'll ever be. ]

Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Wait what???????
That's not the correct creation at all. He crouches down next to Yugi without hesitating, concern plain on his face. ]
Sorry for—what? What are you talking about?
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
[ going to sputter a bunch of nonsense for half a minute before he's able to make a coherent thought. and coherent is still kind of a stretch. ]
I stabbed you. K- Killed you.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
[ ???????????!?!?!?!?!?!? His tone is slipping into truly alarmed now. ]
Yugi, I haven't seen any sand. I was in a room with hundreds of bridges the entire time. This is the first I've even seen you!

Re: THE DEAD CENTER
He reaches out to firmly take Yugi's face in both of his hands. ]
Partner, listen to me. Do you trust me?
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
...of course, but how you could ever trust me again I'll never know.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
[ It's said very firmly, like there's no doubt at all in his mind. ]
It was- an illusion, or a mirage, or something else. I've only been in one round so far, and I didn't encounter your group. You never hurt me.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER
[ He reaches for Yugi's hands to give them a brief squeeze, then pulls them both to their feet. ]
Come with us.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Alright. But... Sunshine can come too, right? I don't want to leave him here.
[ noticed he'd made his way to dead center too. ]
