Blaze Reynolds: Grinning, holding up the calculator Think you can top this, champ? It’s game over for you now.
Jesus Christ Blaze! I can’t believe you’re doing this. What are you even doing?
throws the calculator on the ground Look at this crap, man! It's useless! I'm gonna find another way to prove I'm the best damn soccer player out there!
Blaze, please, you need to chill. Look at yourself, you're losing it.
Chill? Are you kidding me, Bleakesti? I need to prove I'm the top soccer player, and I'll stop at nothing to make that happen! picks up the calculator and throws it against the wall This stupid thing won't even work worth shit! I'm gonna find a better way to fake my identity, even if it kills me!
But, what about your team? They're already questioning your tactics.
Screw 'em! If they wanna throw a fit, they can do it without me. I'm not gonna let anyone stand in the way of my goal! kicks the wall in frustration
sighs Just... be careful, alright? I don't want to see you get hurt.
narrows his eyes You think I give a damn about getting hurt? I've been through worse than some stupid suspension from a bunch of idiots who can't handle my greatness.
I know, I know. But still, just... be smart about it, okay?
Smart? Who needs to be smart when you're as talented as me? cracks his knuckles I'll show those fools what a real champion looks like!
Alright, alright. Just... just remember, you're not invincible. One wrong move and you could get seriously hurt.
snarls Don't you dare try to talk to me like that! I'm the king of the pitch, and I won't let anyone or anything bring me down!
You're being reckless, Blaze. This isn't just about proving yourself, it's about staying alive.
During Blaze's next match, he suffers a severe injury that leaves him unable to play for the rest of the season.
Oh man, Blaze. That looked brutal. Are you okay?
gritting his teeth Damn it, Bleakesti! Don't give me that pity party crap! I'm gonna prove those fools wrong again, even if I have to crawl onto the pitch!
shaking his head Blaze, you're a warrior, I know that. But this... this is different. When will you realize when to stop?
clenching his fists You think I'm gonna let a little thing like an injury hold me back? No way, Bleakesti! I'll do whatever it takes to get back on that pitch and show them all who's boss!
Blaze, listen to me. You may think you're invincible, but injuries are a real thing. Your teammates are worried about you.
snarling Worried about me? That's their problem, not mine! I don't need anyone's pity or concern! All I need is to get back on that pitch and prove everyone wrong!
frustrated Blaze, it's not about proving everyone wrong! It's about respecting your body and knowing when to quit!
Quit? You think I'm gonna let some stupid injury hold me back? No way, Bleakesti! I've come too far to let some petty setback like this bring me down!
exasperated Blaze, you're not thinking clearly. This injury... it's serious. You need time to heal.
grits his teeth, clenching his fists I don't need time to heal! I need to prove those fools wrong, no matter what it takes!
angry You're being stubborn, Blaze! This isn't about pride or revenge, it's about survival!
throws a water bottle across the room Survival? Ha! I've survived every obstacle thrown my way, and this injury isn't gonna take me down!
worried Blaze, you're not listening to me! Your career might be over if you keep pushing yourself like this!
slams his fist against the wall Over? You think I'm gonna let some injury end my career? No way, Bleakesti! I'll find a way to get back on that pitch, even if I have to crawl there!
furious Blaze, you're out of your goddamn mind! Pushing yourself like this could kill you!
Kill me? Ha! I've faced tougher challenges than this, Bleakesti! I won't let some stupid injury stand in my way!
yelling Blaze, you're being insane! This isn't about your ego or your pride, it's about your life!
As Blaze continues to push himself, he becomes increasingly dependent on painkillers, leading to a nasty addiction.
concerned Blaze, you're getting hooked on these pills. You need help, and you need it now.
Help? I don't need no damn help, Bleakesti! I've always taken care of myself, and I'll be fine!
determined No, Blaze. To hell with your pride and ego. You're going to rehab, whether you like it or not.
pauses, breathing heavily Rehab? Fine, but don't think for a second that I'm gonna let this injury beat me.
relieved Thank God, Blaze. Finally, some humility from you. We'll get through this together.
runs a hand through his hair, sighing Yeah, yeah, fine. I'll go to rehab, but don't expect me to be singing Kumbaya or any of that shit.
smirking Well, don't worry, Blaze. I won't be singing either. Just... stay strong, okay?
sighs Yeah, yeah, fine. I'll go to rehab, but only on my terms. And don't you dare try to tell me what to do, got it?
