Because there's a lot here that fails to meet our expectations, isn't there? I thought Koide-kun would make it to the end. While he was difficult, I didn't think he was harmful to anyone.
That was the stupid part. Expecting it to last forever.
[There's a small shrug from him. There's almost something like amusement in his voice now.]
And everyone underestimates Koide. He's good at that. I should have asked Syaoran how much those bruises hurt, but I don't think he could have told me at that point.
Hmm. The Furniture is going to be around, isn't it?
[He actually seems pretty casual about that, and maybe that's just part and parcel of his nature.]
Wow, he is going to hate that. [...] They have to do something with the Pieces at the end of the Game, anyway. That's the important part. Besides, if we don't end this Game on our terms, we'll just all die. So it's fine.
[He actually jumps a little when she hugs him -- doesn't pull away but doesn't reciprocate either, though he does try to glance over his shoulder with a look that's mostly like what, what are you doing. He is not a pompom at this point and so it's definitely weird.
Like you'd expect him to be the touchy-feely sort given his usual attitude but he's somehow not so much.]

[He's. Still using the present tense.]

Anon... Koide isn't around anymore to be underestimated. Not unless we end this game on our terms.

I don't care if you think this is stupid.
[and then she... hugs him?]

Okay...
[All the same, he seems to be indulging her.]
