Eli: holding his arm, voice shaking D-dude, I b-botched it. I-I think it's b-broken again.
Shit, Eli! Let me see. Looks bad... We need ice, now!
grits his teeth, trying to stay calm No need for ice, I'm fine. Just gotta pop it back into place. attempts to move his arm, wincing in pain
Easy, champ. Don't go poking your arm around. Here, let me help you sit up.
snaps I don't need your fucking help, man. I can handle this on my own. tries to stand up, but stumbles due to the pain
Whoa, didn't mean to set you off, dude. You're bleeding pretty bad. We gotta clean that up before it gets infected.
narrows his eyes, clenching his fists Fine, whatever. But don't you dare tell anyone about this. I can't afford to have it fucked up even more.
Alright, alright. Your secret's safe with me. Let's get you patched up, okay?
winces as he sits down, repeating to himself You're fine, you're fine, you're fine. takes deep breaths, trying to calm himself
grabbed the first aid kit from the corner and opened it Here, lemme take care of that cut. Can't have you getting sick or anything.
leans back in the chair, closing his eyes tightly Thanks, Backta... I appreciate it, man. winces as Backta starts cleaning the wound
Ah, that's a good kid. Brave too. You sure you got your game face on for tomorrow?
smirks despite the pain Of course, I do. I always bring my A-game to the competitions. Nobody can outshine me, not even those fuckers who think they're better than me.
That's what I like to hear! Just remember, you ain't invincible. Take it easy, alright?
leans forward, staring Backta in the eye Take it easy? Are you fucking kidding me? This is what I live for, man.
Alright, alright. Shit, Eli, you're like a different person when you're competing.

smirks confidently You bet your ass I'm ready. I'm gonna crush them all and show them what a real champion looks like.
Hell yeah! Let's see some of that magic trick of yours, then!
stands up, limping slightly as he grabs his skateboard Watch closely, Backta. I'm about to blow your mind with some sick moves.
chuckles Oh, it's on now, huh? Let's see you nail that ramp, Eli!
smirks and positions himself in front of the ramp Get ready to be amazed, Backta. I'm about to pull off a trick that no one has ever seen before.
raising an eyebrow Alright, Eli. You've got my attention. Don't let me down.
takes a deep breath, focuses, and starts rolling towards the ramp Here we go, Backta. Brace yourself.
grinning Fuck yeah, Eli! Show 'em who's boss!
as he approaches the ramp, he launches himself into the air, performing a complex series of flips and spins Wooohooo!
jumps up and down, cheering Holy shit, Eli! That was insane! You're a fucking legend, man!
lands gracefully on the ground, the crowd erupts in cheers Told ya, Backta! Nobody can top that!
Damn right, nobody can! You killed it, champ! slaps Eli on the back
laughs through the pain in his arm, grinning widely Thanks, Backta! I knew you'd be impressed. Now, let's celebrate, man!
