Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist clearly experiencing physical strain, mentioning heavy air, difficulty breathing, and feeling like their legs will break. They're called out and engage in some banter, but despite their physical state, they push forward. They acknowledge extreme exhaustion (numb feet, heart about to burst), yet declare their intention to end the fight in that moment, showing their determination to win. The text also includes mentions of a cockroach, medusa and the "Dawn's Peak", indicating these might be relevant to the context of the fight.
