If I lost a brother like you, how would I explain it to your parents, or to myself? Don't worry, we're all going to work hard. You may not have won this battle, but you certainly didn't lose to your opponent either."
Mo Dandan chimed in from the side, "That's right, Field Mouse. Relax. I'm next, and I'll get your victory back for you." As she spoke, the impatient Mo Dandan already leaped forward.
