[ As the Ring-Spirit's mind clears again, he realizes what Ryou must be doing - and he doesn't panic, because right now he can't do that, but boy he sure would if he still had that ability. Instead, he scratches weakly at his chest, as if he could physically pull the feelings back out of Ryou. ]
No, don't - y-you didn't hurt me, you just, reminded - I mean I remembered -
[ It's very strange to be able to think so dispassionately even while he's stumbling over what to say that could fix this. But right now what matters is emphasizing that none of this is Ryou's fault, and that especially means not bringing up the dice thing again. ]
- I just. remembered, how I'd felt after hurting you, once, and - so it's not your fault. It's not your fault I went and did something to you that I was going to regret, right?
Now just give it back. Please. Please don't do this.
[ He doesn't even have to think about it. The "please"s spill out unbidden.
While the Ring-Spirit's eyes are wide with the panic he can't feel, their breath is only labored if Ryou's still having problems with it. The Ring-Spirit doesn't try to resist their curling up into a feather ball - they probably should have just done that to begin with, huh - he simply focuses on trying to reason with the shade. ]
