As before, Kaiba laughs--a taunt--before slamming his hand on the bed, closing the distance.

"Five!"

It's no longer about winning the game, but pushing against an opponent in a way he'd missed. This one...he might even convince Kaiba to dust off his deck and play a proper game, the game he loves, a game of cards with heart and soul.

But...additionally, Kaiba's riding the high of his last two victories, and believes the dice to be on his side. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. Who was to say? But his heart was in it!
