He knows that Alucard is not himself right now. That is obvious enough, even without those words that Rhy would never expect to hear from him. I need you.
It isn't true, of course. Alucard wanted him once, and even cared for him, but he never needed Rhy. Rhy knows this is true, and so he knows that Alucard is not himself. He's sick, he's affected by - whatever is happening in the city this time. Because it's clear there is something.
Still, that doesn't mean Rhy is unaffected by hearing those words. Even if he knows they're not true, even if he knows better than to allow himself to believe them, he can feel his heart clench.
