Opening one door after another was going to be the way. Every word shared seemed to be peeling back yet another layer, even layers within the layers. Yugi remained attentive, keen to see what lay beneath each barrier. How far he could delve in this single session was up to question, but he would go whatever distance possible. As Kimiko's mind processed what he'd said so recently, he continued observing her face. This side of the girl was so fun to watch, deviousness could not keep away from him. Yugi could feel the squirming state he was reduced to in the form of Kou. With that memory in place even vaguely, how could he possibly avoid a chance to leave Kimiko in a similar state?

She even said she would accept 'punishment' if it was his desire to deliver. This was a game. As a long-term habit of Yugi's, he didn't tend to lose games, almost as if reality itself demanded that he be victorious somehow. In this case, though... one winner did not mean there had to be a loser. Yes, they could both win on the journey, in the end, and in the moments after as well. Yugi chased this double victory with glorious purpose, taking up a pace that was agonizingly slow even to his own senses. There was one thing he needed in this approach, though, and it was to be determined by Kimiko herself. "That's binding, y'know? You'll have to hold up your end to make it work, or I might accidentally go too far~"
