[It had been obvious that Bakura was stuck in this realm, forever a spirit of the Ring...but hearing him say it was still unsettling. He really had no choice but eternity.]

...That's right. I would need to use someone else's body... [He wasn't entirely sure how he felt about that. It's not that he minded using others, but it still wasn't his body. The fact that he had the potential of ending his "eternity" at any time though...that was a small comfort.]

But even if I did... [He looks sternly over, a slight pout on his lips. Why was he even humouring this?! Why did he feel this strongly about Bakura...enough that he felt pity for him.] We have no way of guaranteeing the items would stay together.

Ugh... [Malik brings his hand, and the dagger up to his head, seemingly overcome with a headache. It wasn't him though, just his own thoughts.]
