Summary
His brain was on fire, he was coming undone, unraveled, falling apart. Whoever he once was was gone. He wasn't confident, he wasn't self-assured, he wasn't brave, he wasn't strong. Whoever this was, whoever he was, was pathetic and weak, and Atem hated him.

"I am nothing. I am not Pharoah. I am not the spirit of the Puzzle. And I have the confidence of neither, the strength of neither. I've lost all of that. I'm a shell. All I do is cause pain. I am bleeding all over everyone else and dragging them into my personal hell."

Summary
He claws at whatever he can. A taste of relief has given him some meager strength, some ability to fight back. Briefly. But it's so exhausting, so exhausting to fight all the time. To fight something you can't see. To fight something that doesn't stand in front of you.
To fight your own mind.

Maybe it's a cliché because of the experience of it, of the way it crushes you and leaves you feeling that you're missing something. All you have is the ache, all you have is the pressure in your chest that doesn't go away, that makes it hard to breathe.

Summary
He looked over at me. “Why do you listen to Yugi?”
Once, the answer would have been quick, barely thought of. He's my Partner, I love him, he's always there, I love him, we've been through so much and still know each other so well. I love him. But now all I could say was “I don't know.”

Summary
It makes it sound like you're a problem to be gotten rid of. Disposed of. And, fuck, what I want, need, to have you understand, is that that's not true, but I'm drowning, and Anzu's right, I can't keep this up. I don't have it in me.
