It might not be Marik directly causing it but he finds himself gripping the nearby wall as that voice echoes in his mind. His heart beat picks up and he feels everything become distant and cold as he falls into panic mode. Is that... him? But it can't be...! Yami banished that part of his soul! It feels so familiar though.

His eyes are wide and he looks over his shoulder, his gaze unfocused. If it hadn't have been for running into Yugi and setting off his fight or flight mode, he'd be able to handle this situation more calmly but it's been one thing after another and it's wearing on him mentally.

A fragile mind still so close to snapping, even after all of this time.]

Marik will always be Marik deep down. A corrupted soul.]

I don't know how you... clawed your way out of the Shadow Realm but I'm not going to lose her. Especially not to the likes of you.
