- An opening!
- Huh?! Guhwah!
- Oof. You got me good, friend. I concede.
- Yesss! I won!
- You didn't fight like yourself today—and I mean that
[cdb]in a good way.
- You fended off everything I had, then saw an opening
[cdb]at the last second and really showed me what's what.
- You turned my own height advantage against me.
I never saw it coming.
- Yeah, it was quite the ending, all right.
- That said, it wasn't my idea to fight like that.
- Linhardt mentioned it was the only way for me to
[cdb]beat someone with your height.
- A long time ago, Linhardt told me that was the only
[cdb]way to take out a giant like you.
- Sounds like he left you something to remember
[cdb]him by.
- Still, even if it wasn't your idea, you're the guy who
[cdb]put it into action.
- So no need to be humble. Puff that chest out for
Linhardt's sake!
- I'll do just that. But now I've found myself with a new
[cdb]goal to worry about.
- This victory came from me getting outside advice.
Next time, I wanna win it all by myself!
- Hey, it's OK to have ambitions and junk, but...
- Look, if you ask me, I think there's more value in
[cdb]winning with someone than in smashing skulls alone.
- Wait, you do?
- Yep. When it comes to a fist, the more people behind
[cdb]the punch, the stronger it gets.
- Me, for example? I've got Holst backing me up.
- That guy's helped me tons of times in my life.
- You're old childhood friends, right?
- Sure are. We're two peas in a rotten pod—although
[cdb]right now, each pea is off in a different place.
- But I know we'll see each other again somewhere
[cdb]down the road. Not a doubt in my mind.
- In that case, I guess Linhardt is my Holst.
- We're the same, you and me—warriors who fight with
[cdb]childhood buds backing up their fists.
- Except that our friends aren't the tiniest bit alike in
[cdb]terms of personality or military skill.
- Nothing wrong with that. It's natural for folks in
[cdb]different positions to have different ways of life.
- Yeah, except my childhood friend isn't alive.
- Which just makes the feeling stronger! I mean,
Linhardt is mostly the reason I lost today, yeah?
- All you and I can do now is live life with everything
[cdb]we've got.
- If you train with all your heart, you can live and die
[cdb]without a single regret.
- Yeah, you're right! We've got nothing but fighting!
- So let's fight and fight and fight until this war is over!
- Whoa, hang on, pal! I've got money and women to
[cdb]think about too, you know.
- And I've got martial arts, brawling, and hand-to-hand
[cdb]combat to think about!
- That's all fighting!
