Nagahide takes a seat at the table and has some of the proffered tea and bread. Nagahide looks at the girl and then at the cards facedown on the table. "Niwa is my family name. My given name is Nagahide, but my friends call me Machiyo." Machiyo sits back in her seat. She closes her eyes and relaxes her breathing. To the girl and everybody else, she may look like she is meditating.
After a few minutes, Machiyo reaches out and starts stacking the cards. Start with the farthest card on the girls left (No. 1). she stacks them in the order from top to bottom 1, 3, 2, 4, 5. Following the girl's instructions, Machiyo flips the top card revealing the royal figure. "I have stacked the cards. i am curious as to why you had me do this though." she ask the girl.
