[It's that frustration that Atem really isn't understanding. Though from the sound of things, this is something Yugi had been working on for a while and that could explain some of it] ... but Yugi... you've always had powerful allies you could call on... [Tilting his head to one side to see if he got his meaning. The other sundered always seemed so willing to help, and he was worried that Yugi might be trying to take on more by himself than was necessary] ...... What has been going on.....? [Apparently he had a better chance of staying in the know when he was inside the Millennium puzzle than outside if it] What's this sudden urgency you've been feeling lately....?

... but it still requires souls to open that gateway, right? [Trying to make sure his info was up to date] ..... [Atem decided better of reminding Yugi what the definition of insanity was. I mean there was another saying that would back up the other boy's attempts just as easily. He could tell it was important to Yugi, so he would be supportive.]

It's alright Yugi, Ra knows I dragged you into my own quandaries plenty of times. [Trying to allay some of his fears] So.... what are we meant to do here? Or... perhaps I should ask, what have you tried already?
