"Revealing your hand without even looking at your cards? Have you given up?" Melifilia raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget, I can still redraw once."
The person who chooses to reveal their hand first has one less chance to redraw than someone who reveals later. To decide to reveal right from the start is to place all your hopes on luck—a strategy that significantly lowers the odds of winning.
"Stop talking and just reveal," Aiden insisted.
Melifilia was silent for a moment, then she redrew two cards and revealed her hand.

Aiden placed his foot on the table expressionlessly and began to unlatch his shoelaces.
"Oh? Replacing pants with shoes?" Melifilia laughed, "But I guess they won't last long either."
Aiden shot her a glance, then pulled the shoelaces completely out of the boots and dropped them to the ground.
"Shoelaces?" Melifilia's eyes widened slightly.
