Jackal gives the new kid a commiserating punch in the shoulder on his way to catch up with Bunta. The expected result, of course, but he fought that match like someone who'd played against Bunta before. He'd improved with every game, and that deserves some acknowledgement. He wasn't as shellshocked as Akaya had been, but Jackal still had eyes on him even as he extended to Bunta the same punch in the shoulder.

Making sure Sanada wasn't around to overhear, he asked, "Did you have fun?"
