That exasperation, that...anger. Was this similar to the Yuugi Mutou you knew, Seto Kaiba? Perhaps it had always been in his heart, but you never looked beyond his kindness to search for it.
"You think I couldn't understand?!"
It took everything in him not to grab the front of this man's shirt, to not shake him with the frustration that was building in him, fit to burst. With the images that flitted in front of his mind's eye:
Clint's dead body, face-up with a sinuous hole where his chest should be.
Logan's peals for Yuugi to kill him.
The others, dragged into the abyss.
Edward, dying in his arms as he struggled to take him to shore (Together, they died together)--
"Do you know what it's like, having someone beg you to kill them? Someone you love like family, but have to watch and follow through with their last request?"
"Do you know what it's like to keep trying to stop people from dying, over and over and over again? And you have to keep watching?
No. I don't think you do. You don't know me, and you don't know what I've had to go through in this place. I'm not the person you know. I'm not the person who Yuu knew."
Calm. Calm. Calm...Try to calm down...
"You keep thinking in the coin flipping on its side. Heads or tails. Heads or tails, that's all you think about! You aren't thinking about making the coin sit on its edge.
If you're hungry, there are other options than the damned cupcake! Someone that you can eat and not have to worry about dying from, and will always grow back."

Do you get it?
Do you get it yet, Kaiba?
