Good reminder to be squirrely with strangers. Everyone’s hopped up on something in the US. I can’t totally blame this guy for playing by normieworld rules, in his mind people don’t just stab you out of nowhere.
But he should have bailed the second that guy turned away. The second someone furious turns away from you (y’know, the focus of their adrenaline), it’s only because they’re confident they’ve got the initiative.
TBH you shouldn’t get this close to people like this anyways, but that’s more my anti-lice instinct
