Without looking up from his own meal, Bakura reaches up and knocks Tony upside the head (and not a light tap, either) then continues eating as if nothing was wrong. At least he waited until Tony wasn't mid-bite to do it.

"Stop being an idiot. Wanting to change, wanting to... believe that you can be better, when all evidence is to the contrary, is the only thing that matters. Stop counting chances, Tony Stark. It's not a numbers game. You want to know why I didn't kill him afterward? Because I had something far more effective planned. To put him into his own mind, because -- as I'm sure you know -- a person is their own worst enemy. But when I spoke with him, I realized he was already doing that to himself. He was already reliving his mistakes, and it didn't need shadow magic to bring about. Not every form of justice, of ma'at, ends with someone in jail and the other party feeling vindicated. It doesn't mean there's no difference between right and wrong, it just doesn't work like that."

Bakura put his food -- mostly finished now, despite having done the majority of the talking in this conversation, on the bench next to him and stretched his arms behind his head for a moment. "So yes, I think he deserves another chance. If you can't see why you should, then... I don't think he's the one whose motivations you should be questioning."
