You coward. Why didn’t you hit me when you had the chance? I was under the impression that you were supposed to be a ruthless killer, the kind of competitor that is incapable of mercy. Why should your tactic change so dramatically because you’re fighting against me? Those kind of gestures are wasted on me. I refuse to be insulted by these half-hearted attempts.
