That's perfect for you, and we can definitely forget all about that bit where it wasn't!" - but his expression grows almost dreamy anyway. If Yuugi wants to focus on friendship, then friendship is the most important thing. "It really is...."

"Hey, Yuugi."

Marik's eyes are bright, hopeful. Compliant. "What else do you like to do with friends? I want to be the best friend for you I can! Please, tell me!"
