I sat down next to the table, nodding at Rei.  "The table position is clear enough, but I think there's some greater plan at work here."  I told her, looking into those eyes of hers.  They were the same eyes Yui had, just red instead of green.  I would never recreate my own wife.  But...  I'm weak, I needed someone to talk to, someone to trust.  Someone to use.<br/><br/>Not that using people was unfamiliar to me.  "If I'm going to win, then there's no point in playing."  I said simply, looking into her beautiful face.  "If, however, there is a possibility of victory, then the experience may be quite valuable.  Please, make your move."  I said, walking to the kitchen as Rei began to concentrate on the board.  I walked back into the living room carrying two plates of fish and rice, and laid them to one side of the Shogi board.  "What would you like to drink?"  I asked her, noting from the board position that she was still thinking.  It was as comfortable as it could possibly be, given what I would have to discuss with her.
