Coward?! Caim bucked again, but his body wasn't used to this specific kind of abuse and was wearing down. His lungs were bruised at this point, and the gouge just under his ribs was still slowly oozing blood. All these wounds were going to make him light-headed soon, no matter how often the pain brought him back.

I am no coward! -- Aaghk ...

His thumb convulsed with the pain of his fingernail being torn out. As Farfarello moved onto the next finger, Caim tried to bury his fingers in his palm, but it hurt too badly because of the gouge in his palm where the knife had gone through. Gods, would all these little inconveniences really lead to something so painful?!
