“Why don't you tell them the truth, Yuki Judai? Why don't you finally dispense with all of these lies?”

Kagemaru was smiling – yellowed, rotten teeth visible through the gray hairs of his overgrown beard, face and voice distorted by the glass that encased him from head to foot. Judai wanted to rage at him, to scream until his throat bled – shut your mouth, you wretched old man!

“Why don't you tell them that you wanted these cards for yourself as well?”

Their eyes burned into his back – and Judai wanted to howl his rage and crippling shame.
