Yeah, he could see it. They're not not each other's types - well, maybe. What is the pharaoh's type? What's he into besides simply "winning"? Besides ~defeating evil~? Uh... The Ring-Spirit frowns as he tries to focus on what he knows about the pharaoh as a person rather than the role and...
...and, uh.
The Ring-Spirit's opposite number himself doesn't waste much time on considering ~the pharaoh as a person~, does he. What does not!Adam, the person, want? Does not!Adam, the person, even know? Because the Ring-Spirit can see how he might not, and that's... what Marik means with the tunnel vision, isn't it.
...
Shit.
Among other things, the Ring-Spirit's previous "there's no time between rounds"-advice was perfectly misaimed for that kind of laser focus, he should have spelled out the necessity of SOME selfishness - gah! He's way too used to taking "I am GOING to be distracted by things as I see and decide I want them" for granted as a factor.
On another level, the Ring-Spirit is quietly, resignedly, disappointed in himself. He is invested in all the wrong directions. It's been ridiculous for a while now, he might as well just keep rolling with it at this point. ]
you have a plan for this that *doesn't* involve card games?
[ Because you ran a card game-mafia/cult, your last Big Plan involved playing card games, and don't think he didn't notice that your other current Big Plan ALSO involves playing a fucking card game - you're as bad as Seto Kaiba about this, Marik, ugh. ]
