Another Karafuda, another loss. This time, it's not a good one. It's a loss of six cards, and it means that he's lost his chance to advance in the tournament. He wishes he had another chance to move faster, but he can't move fast enough to catch up with the other players. He's also disappointed that he didn't get another lucky break. He thinks that the other women in the room are the best players in the world, and that they're just playing cards against each other. He doesn't understand why they can only read one character at a time. He wonders if shell is able to get to the cards she's giving him, and he wonders if she can move her starting line back so that she can catch up to the other lines. He worries that she has something special that she'll be able to show him. He thanks her for the loss, and says he'll do his best to become a better player.
