Shikadai's became worried about his friend's behavior the last time they met, but he's kept his concerns to himself. Ryogi is also worried about Shikadai, but is tormented by memories he can't forget.
No one can change
the flow of things
لا أحد يستطيع تغيير تدفّق الأشياء
Niemand kann den Lauf der Dinge verändern,
sobald alles im Rollen ist.
Ahora que ya se fijó,
será imposible cambiarlo.
Ahora que ya se ha fijado,
será imposible cambiarlo.
Nessuno può cambiare 
il verso che ha preso la corrente.
Ninguém pode parar engrenagens
depois que elas começarem.
И никому не по силам
изменить ход событий!
