He really doesn't, but context might be good here. He seems to take some air in even before starting. It's a long tale, going by parts doesn't help anyone understand.

What you saw on the network was me, trying to do the job I used to do a few millennia ago. But here things are obviously different. Back then, I had people with me... guiding me, advising me... I wasn't alone trying to do my will, like... I was here.

At least he can see that now.

Back then we also had some magical artifacts, that... helped with the job, you could say. The thing, the Eye I was wearing helped me channel magic and, do other stuff. But as you can see I'm not wearing it anymore, and... I will not do it again. 「Hopefully.」 So, I'm pretty much useless now.

Ouch, he meant normal, but, heh, it doesn't change the truth. Some peace of mind in exchange for a reality check. That's how things are.

There is something absolutely fascinating about being able to read Nick's semblance just as he does with other people. Atem is still not sure of what he is, but the way he speaks and moves, he feels there is something else going on under the layers of metal and synthetic skin. It is a bit of a shame that he is no longer wearing he Eye because if there is a soul inside Nick, it would have been so easy to see it with it. But he made a choice and will stick to it. He might not be king here, but he will carry his word with the very same honor.

While he knows what Nick means, about not being alone, it's a little hard to believe. But wouldn't he be one huge hypocrite if he didn't do as he preached? After all, wasn't he the first one to jump at people and plead them to go show exactly that to Rey, that she wasn't alone? He cannot explain the solitude he feels, however, from having lost his other soul before arriving to Hadriel, that he's been away from home for so long, but he will not explain, his solitude is no different from others' after all.

As of being useless... well...


There isn't much demand for ancient kings around here, Nick.

There was a time, not too long ago that he thought he had been brought back to protect his friends, and back then it had been true, but without a Millennium Item, he's nothing, just a old soul inside a fragile vessel.

He appreciates it anyway, replying in kind, whether he's not sure but a learned response from a very advanced AI. But at the moment Nick mentions that, Atem's face brightens some.

Like Sherlock Holmes?

He's too... hmm, young to know that one, sadly, or his host is, at any rate.

Like what, laser eyes?

Look, he's still that kid that probably read a lot of manga. Again, blame his host.

He might have been joking! Or not. But that little smile eases him anyway. They... are good, right?

Sounds like you really have a lot in your hands... Anyway. That's all I wanted to... 「No, wait, he's here now, it might be best not to waste the chance.

Actually... About Rey... I'm really sorry about the way I handled it... Or tried to. I never meant to hurt her or her friends.
