(Scene: On the Deck of a Ship. The JACK OF ♠️ leans on the railing, while the JACK Of ❤️ stands nearby.)
Jack of ♠️: You know, Jack… I envy you. You live in a Kingdom where everyone’s equal—hearts everywhere, so full of love.
Jack of ❤️: It’s not like they say, Jack. It's a King-Dom—but hey, better not dig too deep.
Jack of ♠️: You should see my country. The rich control everything, and the rest of us? Stuck in an endless loop.
Jack of ❤️: Everywhere’s the same. We’re all just pawns in someone else’s game.
Jack of ♠️: Yeah, a game you can’t win, or quit. I just wonder… why were we born as poker cards in the first place, anyway?
Jack of ❤️: Why indeed.
(The ship sails on toward the horizon, the two standing in quiet contemplation.)
