The jab was, arguably, deserved, but since Solomon had no intention of getting into that fight when he was already wrong-footed, he didn't answer it. Besides, Bakura's following words were far more important, and for a few moments Solomon stood there frowning and trying to figure out exactly what the point of telling him that was. It hadn't sounded like it was said out of bitterness, but then why say it?

Solomon felt another twinge of doubt, and this time he didn't know where it had sprung from.

"What are you saying?" he demanded at last. "That there's no point to a pursuit? I've never said Raine ought to prioritise me over anyone else. If anything I've told her the opposite." He'd made it clear that his death might be necessary to safeguard others, and she was the one who insisted on staying with him when it would have been safer otherwise.
