Kane's miss puts me in mind of Zhuangzi's comments about the archer and the price of distraction -

When an archer is shooting for fun
He has all his skill.

If he shoots for a brass buckle
He is already nervous.

If he shoots for a prize of gold
He goes blind

Or sees two targets –
He is out of his mind.

His skill has not changed,
But the prize divides him.

He cares
He thinks more of winning
Than of shooting –
And the need to win
Drains him of power.

Yup, big mistake letting him take the second pen

Thank you! It was really hard to see today, I cannot fathom how hard was playing it.
