He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the boy sitting in the corner, alone but for a younger child who was presumably his younger brother (they had enough of a resemblance that it could pass). The boy's eyes and hair--they were almost exactly the same, but for the slight difference in coloring (Version One had teal hair where this one had brown). If he had ever had something that even vaguely resembled a heart, it would have ached. As it was, he felt his eyes narrowing, focused only on the boy. That one. That would be his 2.0, the one who could be his real heir, succeeding where Version One had failed.
So when the boy challenged him to a game of chess, he chuckled, pretending to be surprised and amused by the boy's gall in challenging Gozaburo Kaiba.
Inwardly, he was smirking (the board on the table isn't always the most important).
