Illustration for Ending — Bottom Of The Deck, from the adult visual novel The Wager

You tell her about hand four: she stacked the deck, she has stacked it every night since, and the cards fanned out on the table would show it.

MioneYes. I know. I have been doing it since the very first night and I have been waiting six days for one of you to notice.

MalfoidWhy would you want to be caught.

MioneBecause losing to somebody who cannot see the trick is not the same as losing to somebody who can.

Malfoid takes the deck to bits on the table, cards face up, one at a time, and takes a very long time about it.
