Page 56. Frame 1. Balloon 1. Sai: Please let me play.
56.2.1. Sai: Hikaru.
56.3.1. Hikaru: Sai....
57.1.1. Sai: Let me.
57.3.1. Hikaru: That's...
57.4.1. Hikaru: That's crazy!
57.5.1. Hikaru: Touya's coming to the tournament! Not just Touya, Waya and Ochi too! It's in "Go Weekly" for chrissake!
58.1.1. Hikaru: And besides, the New Pro Series uses a negative komi of 5.5 moku to give the newcomers an advantage.
58.1.2. Hikaru: If I let you play, you'd win for sure! I know how strong you are!
58.2.1. Hikaru: It would mean I'd have to start hiding behind your strength again!
58.3.1. Sai: Go ahead and hide!
58.4.1. Hikaru: Like it's no big deal! Who are you to tell me what to do?
59.1.1. Sai: Well, then when in the world are you going to let me play?
59.4.1. Hikaru: Wha...
60.1.1. Hikaru: What's the matter with you, Sai? I told you already.
60.1.2. Hikaru: You've got all of eternity, so don't sweat it! It doesn't matter if I die, you'll just glom onto some other kid. All you have to do is wait! Isn't that right?
60.2.1. Sai: ...
60.3.1. Sai: ...
60.3.2. Hikaru: Isn't that right?
60.4.1. Sai: I think so.
60.4.2. Hikaru: That's right! If I'm the second, that means there'll be a third and a fourth and so on.
61.1.1. Sai: You wouldn't understand. I've been uneasy lately, wondering how much longer I will remain in this world.
61.1.2. Hikaru: Of all the stupid things to worry about.
61.2.1. Hikaru: Anyway, I'm not going to get myself into trouble again letting you play. That's final.
61.2.3. Hikaru: Get the third guy to let you play.
61.4.1. Sai (aside): Hikaru?
61.5.1. Sai (aside): Hikaru isn't going to let me play anymore?
