Marik sighs and looks away. "He's never really forgiven me," he says to Yugi and Rishid. "I know what I did was atrocious and abominable. I don't blame him for not forgiving me."
Rishid lays a hand on his shoulder. "Perhaps in time he will see that you have changed." He feels badly for his younger brother. He knows that if Joey would give him a chance, he would see that Marik is a good, kind person who is very loyal to those he cares about and who wants to make up for his wrongdoings.
Things are only about to get worse for poor Marik, however. A frantic girl runs up to Joey, nearly knocking him over. "Someone tried to kill me!" she screams hysterically, clutching Joey's clothes. "He had blondish hair and he was wearing a midriff shirt!"
Marik stares over at this, appalled and stunned. He knows he didn't try to kill anyone! But he also realizes Joey will suspect him first.
