[That nearly earns you a twitch. If there's one thing that's worse than not having a choice and knowing it, it's having to argue with someone who insists that something you've been coerced into *actually is your choice*. Nisei has a sense of self. He's aware that, in many ways, being a fighter is a bad deal. But you might as well be telling someone who can barely get around without a crutch that, actually, the most efficient way to climb a flight of stairs is to use both feet. He knows that. He can't. He's tried, but the results are far from optimal. And anyone who could just up and walk ... wouldn't need to be told.]
Don't say nonsense. [It's sharp and hard, in contrast to everything he's said so far.] You don't know what a fighter is, or what a fighter should be, and I am not a good example of either. [His tone unconsciously matches yours, when he refers to himself, but then his voice smooths out.] What you do know is what it's like to grow up with the soul of a sacrifice. If dealing with Soubi hasn't shown you that you're very different from him, I don't know what will. But you're the only person here. [His words have a muted sort of venom.]
