[As he watches Gino prepare, Shinya reminds himself to be careful. Harming Gino is the last thing he wants to do, and besides, restraint is just another part of control.
Control that he doesn't have, with his habit of holding on until the bitter end and then some.
Gino comes at him, and all thoughts of holding back disappear (but not entirely; at the back of his mind is a constant chant of don't hurt him don't hurt him). Shinya brings his arm down in a powerful forearm block, trying to knock Gino's hand away. At the same time, he takes a step forward, throwing his weight into a jab aimed right at Gino's sternum.]
