FIGHT OR FLIGHT.
It was an extensive topic back in the UEF.
What was the best decision in a particular moment of threat?
Hundreds upon hundreds of drills, theories, but during his ten years of decision-making, White had learned that the best decision was often to fight back.
In fact, as he grew in power, it only further strengthened the belief:
Rather, he'd be beaten to death than run away from a threat.
But this...this was unexplainable.
For the first thing, and the only thing that occurred to White was to run, and that...was a very bad choice.
The snow was a real impediment; having to raise his leg so high, then dig back in and raise it higher, slowed him down to a crawl.
The adrenaline helped, forcing him to go on, but eventually, it was clear that whatever was coming for him didn't seem to have that same impediment.
Something slammed into him from the side, ripping out his entire body from the snow and sending him flying into the distance.
