[Her spiked bracelet is resting on the inside of his left arm, poised to tear open an artery, and the other is millimeters from his groin, ready to deliver unimaginable pain.]

I'm not stupid. You're a dangerous guy. But that doesn't mean I'm not dangerous too. Training isn't a game. Getting stronger isn't a game. It's the only way to survive.
