Rafael: Oh, Cheberk. If only it were that simple. You don't understand the complexity of my desires.
Rafael: I'm saying, Cheberk, that you are naive and foolish. Power is not just about asking for it. It's about taking it. Claiming it.

Rafael: smirks and begins plotting his next move Very well, Cheberk. If you want to play hard to get, then I'll give you a game to remember.
