"He likes an underdog, huh? I guess I never had a chance."

"I haven't really learned any sorcery yet. Just the cards. Should I branch out?"

"Not underdog, it's about—treating the cards well, and being good to them, and being able to grow with them because of that."

"But branching out sounds like a good idea regardless."

"He's right, if I had magic we'd already have tried everything. You have two magic friends now, even easier." 

"Okay, anyway, Kero, is there anything more you can tell us about Clow?"

"Um... I guess? Like what?"

"If you can't tell us what his plans were, or all his cool tricks, you could at least tell us about what he did while he was alive? What kind of magical things did he do, besides make the cards?"

"Do you know why he made the cards?"

"He made the cards, and me, and the other guardian, and other than that dealt with other sorcerers. He used to do... a lot of magic to help people. Cure diseases, things like that. He made the cards because they're solid magic. They never run out, and they can be used even by people who aren't very powerful to help other people."

"So he wanted me to use the cards to help people...but I just released them."

"Yes... but maybe he wanted that, too. He did create the role of cardcaptor, so he probably expected it?"

"Is this his idea of training?"

"It's working, isn't it?"

"I think this guy should have figured out immortality so he wouldn't play weird head games centuries after he died."

"...he was immortal. He just—decided to stop."

"—why on Earth would anyone do that."

"He never told us."

"...I'm thinking we should reconsider the sabotage angle."

"It must have been hard, right? If he was the only one. Maybe he couldn't find a way to share it, so he just..."

"He... never did find out how to share it, I think. Not after he made the Cards. He had to sacrifice a lot of his magic to create us."

"That would be a good reason to select an heir that you thought could reach your level of power. If the Cardcaptor doesn't have to waste any energy on making the cards, he can focus on other things." 

"Yeah..."

"Dying still sounds like a tremendously bad choice, though."

"It wouldn't surprise me if he expects to come back, somehow."
