[It's pretty kind of the Ring-Spirit to hope that Ryou isn't feeling it, but there's a brief moment, when he seizes control of the spirit's body long enough to speak, which dispels it.]

Sorry...it must be miserable with me like this. I would turn it off if I could. Tried drinking, but...still didn't help.

[The inebriation at least, doesn't seem to spread through their connection in a way that would affect the Ring-Spirit. Ryou just sounds out of it, and there's a bit of drowsiness...but it's not much.

Mostly it's the despair, the self-hate, and also Ryou's hunger, which is legitimate. But regardless, Ryou's full possession skills are only used to speak--they can't share mental thoughts, so it has to be that way.

Otherwise, he stays inside, nestled in his other self's body like a scared, hiding cat.]
