Do I?

[That's the expression of someone who has never noticed his own crazyface.

...the fact that he doesn't have a reflection anymore might have something to do with it -- the window next to the table reflects the whole room, since it's well-lit inside but dark out, but the other Yugi doesn't show up in the image -- but also, he's. He wouldn't have noticed it even if he did. Oops.

He takes a second to consider: is he acting different? How?

...I suppose I'm determined. I swore to Daniel I'd make him pay for what he did, and on top of that, he had my puzzle. I tried for a week to find him. I couldn't think about anything else!

[He supposes that's what it feels like to be a vengeful ghost, dying with unfinished business.]

Now that I've got the puzzle back, and matters are settled with him...what comes next is making sure it doesn't happen again. I'm changing my circumstances, taking precautions, making it much harder to catch me off-guard! I know there's things that happen here that I can't predict. But I plan to avoid what I can, and make sure I have more options when things get bad.

[He'd played so carelessly at the beginning, he's practically embarrassed. Nope. No more of that. Amass resources. Grind away at the mini-games. Fill your inventory with dead man switches and blood. Secure your position. Play better, play to win.

He and Adam agree on one thing, and that's that a break is the first move in billiards. What do you mean there's another meaning?
