Elite Pain Painful Duel __link__

Elite duellers have rich vocabularies for their suffering. “Stabbing,” “throbbing,” “electric,” “dull,” “nauseating,” “suffocating”—each word triggers a different response strategy. When you can name your pain precisely, you gain a measure of control over it. In the duel, you might whisper to yourself: “That’s just the fatigue ache. The sharp one is the one to watch.”
