"At which point, the burden becomes ours now that those responsible are gone," Cain said as he understood the real dilemma lying underneath. That was definitely a problem, and he could see why the kedan were so hands-off about it. They couldn't do anything, nor did they want to rely on the foreigners or get them involved any further.

"That wouldn't be a bad idea." Even if Bakura was being sarcastic, there was merit in the idea of trying to unite under at least one common purpose to give the foreigners a reason for camaraderie aside from the obvious fact that they didn't fit in together. It wouldn't be a system, but at least... something to put them all on more equal terms. "Even if no one ended up working together, learning where each of us stands in relation to one another would help in the long run. A better common denominator than survival instinct."
