[Karkat takes a deep breath, then lets it out slowly. It's a lot to consider, still: a whole world riding on the hope of those who can fight - and that those who do won't fall to that same threat. It's a lot different than his own situation, where there's not so much at risk. When his world is already gone.]

Yeah. She's brave as hell.

[His tone is awed, if still overwhelmed.]

I get what you mean there, though. One of the people on our team--one of the strongest of us with the powers she has, she thought she could take on the demon that was after us. She wanted to leave to challenge him. But another teammate, she knew that if she did, it would just lead the demon back to the rest of us to kill us all. She... She killed her to save the rest of us.

[And that is a feeling he knows. He doesn't look at the screen.]

It's definitely not the same as that whirling blade pitcher of chaos, but the point is I get what you mean by not knowing fear enough to temper how strong you think you are.
