Sure the crowd may not get it, but the other fighters who look death in the eye every day would get that message loud and clear.
Forcing your foe to watch you slowly kill them is fucking metal. Especially when it doesn't hurt so much as to addle the mind. You get to be perfectly aware right up until you fade out.
Besides, fuck the audience, they don't deserve the blood they clamor for. Spoiled cunts.
Even though the vote has passed and the ship has sailed. But if you want to torture someone you never take the eyes. You want them to watch, and see what terrible work you have wrought should they survive the night after.
