The person Satoru spoke of was an unknown to Miko. Apparently, she'd been missing the entire last year for some reason. What strange information. Either way, he'd already mentally moved on to another matter: the Skill Miko had no reason to know the name of. She produced an object that looked somewhat similar to an essence stone, albeit with a strange marking upon it. That, she claimed, was a rune containing the Skill: Mana Reversal. She was right to assume it was his ability, but Satoru found it strange how easily she acquired something so very powerful. "You swallow my kids and get my most-used Skill? That's freaky. You should learn it ─ it's a great survival skill. I patched a hole in my head with it once," he explained.

All the while, Yugi got himself caught between watching his own fatigue rise, and watching the ripples across Tae's backside as he repeatedly made impact. He may have been experiencing the greatest possible struggle of life ─ one that only became more pleasant even as he drew closer to being incapacitated by it. If it wasn't enough that he had no intention of stopping until absolute success or absolute failure, Tae began singing a different tune. What she had to say was more encouraging than how she'd spoken before, more... hungry. Was it possible that he was encroaching upon the mythical mind-break with a more mature, proper woman like the doctor? If such a thing were possible, he had to see it through. Yugi wouldn't stop. He had to find out if the gamble was worth taking for that optional objective. "Of all the times to turn needy. Goddamn, I'm actually gonna run out of juice today at this rate~" he said in a joking tone, though there was some seriousness under the surface. At the current climbing rate, Yugi had only a few minutes left... unless he could place a bit of faith in the System and its annoying, but sometimes useful, administrator.
