Jimmy spoke as the elevator carried them back up, this time toward the ground floor. "You did well back there."
The doors slid open almost the moment they arrived.
Kyle let out a quiet sigh. "I thought I made quite a few mistakes."
He still regretted pulling that punch.
Ever since last night's battle, the line separating men from monsters had begun to blur in his mind.
Still, after exchanging blows with Bennet for a while, he realized the man could have taken that hit, gotten back on his feet, and kept fighting.
"Don't worry about his family situation. He doesn't resent you," Jimmy said reassuringly. "He can look intimidating, but he's a man devoted to his work. Nothing comes before that."
Kyle gave a faint, wry smile. "I hope you're right."
The last thing he wanted was a full-grown man making his life miserable.
He would gladly take another spar over enduring constant taunts and childish pranks.
