Normally I was annoyed when I dealt with Sergei. If it wasn't that, I found things interesting. This was different, however - he said he was teaching me a lesson, so I assumed he was going to hurt me badly.
It wasn't until that thing had me on the ground and he refused to call it off that I realized that he was trying to kill me, and furthermore that I was absolutely going to die unless something drastic happened. There was fear then, though I did what I could to channel it into something else. Anger. The desire to fight harder. Things like that.
