"It's pressure."
With a rough strike, he returned to practice as he explained.
"It's weird to think about but, when you put something people naturally crave on the line, who do they go to afterwards when they feel tired or upset or angry? They aren't going to spend time with people they come to dislike or who leave them angry. Given some time, patterns start to form, and affections are forged in fire."
He made another strike.
"The rice gets cooking when you let people decide who marries who based on this arbitrary set of tasks, or as you'd call them, 'bullshit'. Suddenly it's not just 'let's impress Shika-san for the glory of the clan', but you're playing go for the future love of your life. Is it ethical? ...On reflection, no. Fortunes know I'd need a very serious reason to let my child go to one of these Topaz Miais. But it forges marriages, and thus alliances, in fire, which in theory should make them stronger and more steeled for what the future holds for them."
Another draw.
"Does my theory make sense?"
