❝ You missed. ❞ He says promptly after cleaning 02's clock with his fist so full of strength, it will be a miracle if he didn't loosen the android's bolts. Maybe he didn't miss, but Sett sure as hell did not feel a thing of what the Lancer had thrown his way. - @settdown
Yeah, this was still happening.
02 feels his jaw crack painfully as Sett slams his fist into his face, stumbling back and hitting the floor. He rubs his jaw through the ache that radiates through it, eyes watering faintly and attempting to stand back up. It hurts--god everything hurts. Sett is a cruel, and vicious teacher, and there’s very little mercy whenever he teaches him.
“Teaches”. It’s punishment, punishment for rebellion.
“Fuck you,” 02 spits, as he pulls himself back up off the ground. The way people jeer and laugh at him, the way they point and mock every time he goes down, it only makes him angrier, and it only fills him with the conviction to fight harder. Even if it’s pointless, even if it’s fruitless, even if all he does is injure himself. He can’t give up, he won’t give up--he refuses to give up.
“Come at me one more time.”
