you you're looking at somebody who thinks that you're going to kill them. And it's like, I just want to get off of this mountain. And it's also like the whole, the whole. Did you want to kill him? No. No. I never quite like in, because it would have been defense. Like in that moment, you're thinking, this guy has a knife. I don't. If I got a free shot to, like, pound his head right into the sand and he
