[✐random] wow, takahashi
So I was watching AE AMVs to try and get a grasp on Atem. He's always been the character I find most intimidating to write, so really looking into him has been an interesting experience. Fic will hopefully come of this, if not also an RP account. We'll see

The fact you've got Seto & Isis on both sides of the door and canon hints yelling present Seto is the direct reincarnation of the priest (and thus likely Isis is the same) I always figured there's two ways to go with it.
Either Takahashi is trying to go with the ka/ba spirit idea and those are the spirits of them in that life, making Akhenaden's presence at least potentially workable if you figure the immortal half is dead and took the punishment of his actions via split mummy, and the door appearance is the remaining, unjudged half.
OR (and I like this better since the other is confusing and ka/ba idea is used up with the duel spirits) they're not the actual spirits at all, at the door. They're like, the Takahashi equivalent of the Egyptians putting figurines and mummies of loved ones in a tomb with a pharaoh, thinking they'll come to life and keep the deceased company in the afterlife.
Of course the translation to Atem walking through the door and meeting his ideal company there is a little blurry, but I think it would help explain why reincarnated friends and younger!Akhenaden would be there. If their purpose is to greet and keep Atem company on the other side, he wouldn't show up in the form he betrayed Atem in. If he shows at all, why not as he was in his younger, "loyal brother of the pharaoh" days?
There. Now that's up and I'll pretend it makes sense. xP
