He tries, he reaches for him as far as he can, with his words, as he has before.
Can't he really see it? That his pain hurts him as well? Sure, of course, he will never know how was it to lose it all, in the way that Bakura did, only here he had been so close to feel it in the flesh, but... It does, his pain hurts the Pharaoh's soul. It is a reminder that everything he had ever believed in was but a lie. This sin had made his father sick, it had killed him, and Atem is sure, without a shadow of a doubt, if circumstances had been different for them all, that if he had let the terrible truth sink in, it would have killed him too.
