[There's something hopeful about the way Kaiba speaks. As if it really were that easy. As if something as simple as a game could transcend boundaries.
He's seen enemies play games and still want to destroy each other. He himself has been the stakes in a game of chess. When those in power see the world through games, people become pieces. Not all games have the healing power Kaiba believes in.
But it is not something he wants to destroy in him, not something he wants to contradict. Kaiba was right though, as a child he had been charmed by the dragons, calmed by the game, despite being in a truly frightening place.]
It depends on who is playing I would believe. [A pause, he keeps carving, his hands steady even as his mind considered how to phrase things.]

It was your kindness, rather than just the game.
