player is fulfilled at the same time, the turn player will resolve their effect first. If,
in so doing, the activation timing of another card effect of the turn player is
fulfilled, the non-turn player will first resolve their card effect for which the
activation timing has been fulfilled. After that, the turn player will resolve their
