The Fight.
Keep struggling, keep fighting. Push through all the crap and dodge the blows that come your way. But stay on your feet, be the last one standing when it timer rings. You’ll come out bleeding, broken, and bruised. But at least you’ll still be breathing. And in their eyes, you’ll have won the fight.
Sooner or later, the internal injuries may kill you, the pain may bring you down, but that’s inconsequential. You survived the fight, even if you did die without the reward.
