Blood squirting out of someone’s head, on today’s order it’s non-assistance to anyone in danger if I leave at this time […]. He still managed to hit me in the head. A superficial wound […]. And when I wanted to take advantage of the shock to jump on him […]. That’s where he put a second blow that got me sliced two fingers […].
