Chapter 23: It's... Complicated

Did I sacrifice my position too early? Should I have waited until the four seconds were up? I could probably have lasted a few minutes by spamming Thick Skin.

When freeing my arm, I reflexively took a few steps back, leading to the current dilemma.

On one hand, I am in a situation I can use Slow to fight, a tried and true irl fighting method, on the other, my opponent went through my door, and I clearly can't count on any help coming, as he certainly wouldn't let me the time to call the police.

Not that I'd call them, though. It may be misplaced confidence, but I'm pretty confident in my abilities. Considering my synchronized skills and stats, I should be able to win.

The risks are low enough that I can tolerate them, which, with my risk tolerance, doesn't mean much.

Anyway!

My opponent is standing in the doorway, and I am now about 2 meters away from them.

A whole 2 meters away!
