'Yes,' he pondered; 'Yes Monica, you need to be strong- you need to be cruel. That is the only way to survive here. . .'
Nexus thought back to the cave, and he wanted to kick himself;
'Damn it what was I thinking? Was I really going to spare those vile hunters?!'
He bit down so hard on his tongue, a trickle of blood ensued. What would he have done if it were him that was about to be violated by a band of perverse orcs?
His hypocrisy tore him from the inside out;
'. . .well, I guess that reflects on just how misogynistic I am. . .I shouldn't have hesitated. . .I should have protected her honor. . .'

Every single one of them that had witnessed, and partook of the attempted rape were all dead. No one would be able to spread this news again. Yes, she would maintain her honor, and fiery reputation.
