"I was... the only one left." Only he wasn't. But it better than than his cousin. It was Atem's responsibility, not his High Priest's. And for the first time the kid sounds like he's actually telling how he died and not as if he were reviewing the soap from last night. If only they had soaps they wouldn't be talking about this, though.
Atem continues in silence after that question is asked, not stopping on his way to what seems to be the Speakeasy, but he seems more lost in thought that before. Carlisle had asked the same thing before. At the moment he gave a knee-jerk response to something he had been avoiding to think about, it hadn't been a lie but now he muses about it.
Dying itself hadn't hurt, not in a physical way, anyway. He mainly just remembers being very tired, and then it was a blur of events that lead him to forget himself. What happened inside the puzzle does not factor in this question so he won't mention it at all if he can help it.
