Willpower, you say? Ha, that's silly.

Don't you think there's no reason for willpower to exist?

Let's say, if we take these 52 playing cards, do you think we can guess which will be red and which will be black, without looking?

I'll do it once.

Red, black, black, red...

Now then, how many did you get?

Oh, you missed all of them?

Exactly, it's like that, man.
