Yugi is still the biggest fushigi mystery to Intensity.
Just ??? all around.
Since the last CR-meme, they've only had two major interactions.
One was Liar Hell, where the friendship squad tried to save the angel with very disastrous results, resulting in Intensity offering to pay the toll when Lilith finally showed up at the end. From previous interactions, he knew that Yugi was slowly bleeding out from his corruptions and yet he still decided he wanted to proceed with the mission. Had amnesia and wanted to proceed with the mission. Saw Nemesis's Gates of Babylon come flying back in her face, and still wanted to attack Furfur. Yugi just doesn't seem to be able to make good decisions in the heat of the moment. And thus Intensity firmly labeled him as a liability.
And then came Betrayal - where their interaction consisted of a bloody Yugi sitting in the foyer with a chainsaw ranting about - well, it really wasn't important. Because King's reaction to Yugi later and the fact that King went home with Intensity showed that something had gone down. Though Intensity doesn't know what. It just was Castle game level of bad since that is the only time Yugi and King have not gone back together in his memory.
Later, when Intensity got a call from Cobalt that Yugi wasn't in the dorm and they needed Blue Eyes to help search for him so he wouldn't go grey --- Intensity was just... internal sigh. It seemed that the only thing Yugi knew how to do is run from his problems.
And Intensity's only solution was to keep a polite distance - neither supporting or attacking Yugi because that is still an quick play card to get King upset with him. And he's not about to do that unless it's over something he deems important.
So for a long while, Intensity has not only been insanely jealous of Yugi. But he also has thought of him as a coward.
But as his own insecurities with King finally get settled, Intensity has taken a more neutral stance on Yugi. Kind of like that in-law that you have to put up with. He's still firmly convinced that Yugi is ranked #1 to King, but now that he has accepted that expectation is not really part of a rival package, he's more okay with it. And Yugi does seem to be treating Intensity in the same way - offering to help look for Hurricane and Nemesis and also offering to revive Duality.
So time is slowly healing this wound and considering Imeeji never stops or sleeps, who knows what's going to happen to their relationship in the future.
Intensity certainly can't predict it outside of the fact that he has had to get use to the idea that in order for King to remain in his life, Yugi also has to be somewhat of a permanent fixture. So is apathy an improvement? Who knows.
