No... I lost another game of Old Maid... Why is it that I can never win?

It's probably because you don't have much of a poker face, Len. I sorta noticed that while you were playing with Miku and the others.

For example, Luka doesn't flinch whenever she draws the joker. On the other hand, you might fare better by doing what Rin does by just being mentally prepared to throw down with someone.

Wait... Doesn't that mean I have to lie to myself?

Huh...?

Oh, I never thought about it that way...

I mean, I think it's important to try and enjoy the competitive aspect of these kinds of games...

The competitive aspect...

Are you good at those kinds of games, Mizuki? If so, I'd like you to teach me a little more about them...

Haha... I'm not great at them, but I think I can help you get good enough to win at Old Maid!

Really? Then, if you don't mind...
