i LOVE the idea of “i can’t win, but you can lose” in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.
character: has no chance of winning a fight they’re in
me:
character: allows the person they’re fighting to wound them, perhaps even fatally, so that they can get close enough to slip past their defences and destroy them right back
