"And that satisfies you, but also leaves you bored out of your fucking mind because you're still a person and like the feeling of camaraderie from time to time," Yugi blabbered. It didn't matter to him if anyone joined the hypothetical booing of Makima; he'd do it alone if it became a thing of actual interest. As for the phrase Yugi let slip only to complain about immediately, Makima wondered if it was such a big deal... but his partner agreed to the phrase's stupidity. "Right? It's way too time-specific. I mean, I guess if it was started during a time period when farmers ruled the world or whatever, they probably didn't imagine pastures being industrialized... but then the phrase should've been fucking replaced by something more accurate, and our generation should've never heard it. And yes it's a big deal; I hate people making dumb decisions. Even me. Especially me!" he ranted.

The vice-chairman entered, and the tone shifted slightly. He got a strong sense of familiarity from Miko, who allegedly had been gambling for the past couple of days. He could spin the wheel, pull the lever or roll the dice at will, so long as it got her to the proverbial table. "To the table? I guess you're really not her," he said of the comparison to 'Itacchi', who surely would have said 'on' the table. It seemed Makima hadn't settled on the resemblance before that moment, but after having it addressed, the uncanny similarity was clear. "I figured it was something crazy. You wouldn't have a private meeting with a couple of nobodies. The question I have is, what makes these two somebodies? But if you're already done with the meeting, I'll just get the details later."
