Now that things have come to this point, winning with 1 Han isn't very impressive and won't give me very many points. If I want to make a comeback, I'll be under even greater pressure in the fourth game of the East round.
Moreover, I just boasted that I would show Ryan my reversal magic. How can the round end like this? I choose to discard the 8 Sou!
In addition to waiting for a red 5 Sou to improve my hand, I'm also looking forward to one other possibility...
Although I have Tenpai again, this isn't the result I'm looking for. After drawing a 3 Sou, I play a 6 Sou so that I continue to Tenpai and wait for the tile I'm seeking. My current hand is now 1226 Sou, West, West, West, 3 Sou, 333 Man, and 888 Pin.
To my surprise, Ryan draws the 2 Sou I need to Ron in the next turn.
[Ryan]Onee-sama?
After noticing my gaze lingering on the 2 Sou he just played, Ryan seems to guess what I'm conflicted about. Instead of telling me to hurry up, he waits patiently for me to make a decision.
