[Byleth keenly watched the minor chaos unfolding at the table: Gavial's blatant cheating, Yuri's attempt to divert focus to the accuser, the other players' side-glances and squinting, as if wondering if their neighbour has also been swiping cards or slipping them out of their sleeves (yes and yes).

This would be the perfect opportunity to slip some favourable cards into his hand....... if he had any. As it was, he had a useless hand and some chaos he couldn't even take advantage of. Well, he still needed everyone to fold somehow...]

It seems our table is rife with dishonest players. [despite his words, his tone is thoroughly flat and apathetic] Maybe for the next round, we should play with our sleeves rolled up, to ensure fairness?
