What cause have you to pit yourself against your heart's own sea? Why not instead believe the current's course is fair, and set aside your oars? Enjoy your moments with Lloyd. Cherish them for what they are.In my humble opinion, your current turmoil stems from fighting the current, from not fully accepting that your behaviors and feelings are those of a woman deeply in love.”

— di un altro piano. —”

La estrategia no siempre se puede adivinar a tiempo y sin práctica se puede perder fácilmente ante un jugador experto. El tío de Yuka tenía la habilidad de un jugador profesional, y sabía desplegar sus movidas haciendo fallar a su oponente. Y más que eso, podía atacar perfectamente aun cuando no conoce la posición del rey enemigo. Ese era el tipo de juego que llevó adelante conmigo todo el tiempo, una permanente presión para delatarme con mis propias fallas.”
