There's something uncanny about the way this man walks that keeps Yusei on edge, the tones of his voice, the clinical preciseness of his movements. It's like staring at something that's just a degree or so "off," and for a brief moment he's hit with the very idle, very stupid thought that this man could very well be the embodiment of this "magic" they've been discussing, something that can't be explained.

But that can't be right, can it?

"It's an odd direction they've taken their technology-or magic-in then, don't you think? Some things, so advanced, while others so primitive-what could account for that, do you think?"
