(This is my first attempt at a quest. Keep your expectations low and go easy on me, please)

Standing in front of you from across the table is a girl with a weird hairdo. Your opponent. On the table rests your hard-earned deck of cards. There's nothing but darkness all around you, and yet you feel watched by countless stares. Your heart is pounding and your hands are sweaty, despite your best efforts to keep your cool. Your life is at stake after all.
What will you do before the duel begins?
>Study your opponent
>Look at your deck
>Think back to how you got here
