[After receiving Eustace's word that information would be mutually shared, Kaiba would have been content to end the conversation here and now, reconvening at a later date. It was enough to get the initial phase started.
.. but then Eustace just had to go and ask that.
It wasn't a question Kaiba particularly wanted to answer since he felt it would reveal some weakness in himself, but somehow it seemed pertinent to compose a satisfactory response.]
I mentioned that this wasn't the first dimension I'd wound up in earlier, remember? I, or this version of myself, haven't been back to my own universe for what must be years now.
Maybe from your perspective that's more of a reason for why I should want to stay here.. but there's someone whose counting on me there.
[He'd just leave out the rest of it. That should cover it. Let's face it, he was tired of these alternate timelines and dimensions having this much control over his own life, so he wanted to seize that power for himself. That way, he could reunite with his brother, without losing his girlfriend, or rival in the process. Why be beholden to anyone else's whims again?]
