After being thrown into a wall in the darkness, John learnt something. He was severely underprepared for this entire mission.
Firstly, he didn’t have a reliable way to navigate or see in the darkness, so he was basically a sitting duck without Kota around or once his matchstick gets snuffed out. Even if he threw out a punch right now, it was likely for him to miss those disgusting bugs.
Secondly, he should have constantly kept his matchstick lit up (in the first action of every post), because apparently it doesn’t last long enough. Even then, the matchstick was always susceptible to being snuffed out by external forces, so a better and more reliable light source would be nice to have.
Thirdly, he was not versatile enough. He couldn’t hide or run from the threat before him, and so he got hit hard as a result. (Although he did wonder if he could just overpower the enemies if he was strong enough, and having the necessary means to see in the dark).
He could only hope that if someone were to venture into these dreadful caves in a future exploration, they would have ample preparation for it. But alas, it wasn’t as if anyone could read his thoughts and learn from his horrible mistakes.
With that said, John was hit with the realization that perhaps he would not make it out alive. It was a terrible situation, and yet, he couldn’t help but to crack a manic smile at his own plight. Perhaps he had already gone mad with fear.
"I knew I’d leave an impression, just didn’t think it’d be on the wall.” John snickered. He may not be able to take any of them down in this darkness, but he could try to buy as much time as possible by being a total turtle. “Bring it on, you filthy insects!” He yelled out, raising his guard once more.
