[ Shit, if that's something he really hasn't thought about in a while. He blinks back to his dad, when he was a kid-- ]

You don't let them.

[ That's not helpful. He exhales, maybe looks vaguely troubled for a second. ]

You're going to instinctively tense up. Don't. Stay relaxed, step back, make sure you're comfortable on your feet, align yourself to be able to rip away from them. Sometimes you just gotta twist your arm the right way and up, sometimes you can use your knee to force their grip off you. Don't panic. Anyone can do it, so long as you know what you're doing.

[ Not panicking is the hard part. He doesn't mention that. Feels like it would just put the idea in her head, and then she'd never be able to shake it. ]

You'll probably surprise them if you do that, so you just... gotta be ready to try to finish them, then and there. They think they can fuck with you. Don't prove them right.
