"Here, pick a card."
"Why am I doing this?" Mamoru asked, turning a sceptical eye to Usagi's smiling face and hand of splayed playing cards.

Her voice was too chipper for so early in the morning.
Mamoru shook his head in mild amusement. "This doesn't solve anything."
"Yes, it does. Now pick a card."
