[Bakura scoffs at those words. It's true, Hiro hadn't said it, but it was always the same with those types who felt the need to say something like that publicly rather than just do it. There's always that foolish hope - just like the one that keeps driving his host to do things that make Bakura want to smack him either senseless or until Ryou finally gained some semblance of sense. Happily sacrificing things that aren't yours to give is not okay.

And since the ancient spirit can't say anything to poor Ryou who only means well without immediately having an army of said goody-two-shoes friends on his back for being 'mean' to poor widdle Ryou he is lashing out at everybody else who shows hints of similar a sentiment instead.]

Are you now? [His voice sounds bitter.] All you can do is kill. You can't prevent more people from dying or being turned into those monsters. For the witches you [he makes a sweeping gesture to show that the 'you' is meant to encompass everybody willing to fight in the city] are nothing but playthings from in the best case. They'll never get anywhere with this war.
