[Despite the absurdity of their situation, the atmosphere in the room has become very business-like. Matoba has become accustomed to that in the now year that he has been in this resort, putting aside over-familiarity as a necessary element of adapting. The intentions of monsters can be debated, with or without underwear.]

[Something in Wei Wuxian's reply catches Matoba's interest, from the way his eye alights with it, but in replying, he doesn't yet draw attention to it.]

Aaah? Well, there is after all the promise of this game's winner. A single "wish" granting the desire of whoever gains every card.... That has been a subject of much debate amongst players, but at least we have some evidence that it isn't merely a ruse.

I'll tell you this, [Matoba prefaces first, with his spritely and mischievous air returning to him in full force. Reading between the lines: not every hint is free.] There are past winners among the resort's denizens.

...Haha, of course, every whim granted by spirits isn't without cost, is it...?
