That shitty bear sent you to the home of the one guy you can't defeat. So that you could get stronger. You really think he would've sent me someplace where I could beat everyone there that easily? Those assholes were fucking strong and I couldn't— I wasn't about to let them catch me again.

[He looks away, raking a hand through his hair.]

I didn't only run from 'em, that's just what you saw.
