I like how all they really needed was some encouragement, for someone outside of themselves to remind them of the things they had forgotten in their fear. Because that’s certainly something that happens in real life as well. You can get so stuck in your own head that you lose sight of perspective and the ability to say no to that part of your brain that tells you that you’ll fail no matter what so you might as well just stop trying.

Manjoume remembers now that as painful as losing can be, it’s not the end and that he just has to pick himself back up and keep trying. He’s done it before and he can do it again as a pro if it comes to that.
