[Makoto turns to look at the newcomer and stares blankly at him, unimpressed by his question. He is a wonderful player, thank you very much! ...When he's not a prisoner trapped in an unknown land and away from his loved ones.]

Neither. I have bad luck. Or good luck I guess sometimes. It makes games that require luck hard to play fairly.

[Taking a breath, he tries to relax and uncrosses his arm to look at the stranger better.]

I take it you're also a prisoner here?

[Congratulations, you have a grumpy and sulky Makoto to deal with, a rare and unfortunate sight.]
