Daniel has to look away by the time the figures in the memory start celebrating this. Like it's a good thing. It makes his stomach turn to remember how the other man had twisted his mind, to a point where Daniel briefly believed it was a good thing to do this every single day for training. To constantly hurt himself, come home with those injuries, and lie about it to mister Miyagi - because of some mistaken belief that this was the only way for him to survive.

It makes him feel awful, emotions mixing together in his gut, but all of them just as negative and painful as the next one.

He doesn't know if he could see more of it, so technically he's thinking the exact same thing as Maul is when Daniel sees a white stag standing by the dojo's exit, symbolizing the end of the memory.

At least it's one relief in the middle of all this. Facing such an awful memory, and then having the worst possible person seeing it alongside him. Maul, who wouldn't understand, who's a murderous psychopath, who knows Terry Silver as if Terry Silver is a man you can know, rather than a snake that poisons everything around it.

"Yes," Daniel says, not bothering to hide his curt tone, or the way he glares at Maul. Instead he just quickly paces over in the direction of the stag, and the moment it touches Daniel, the memory ends - both of the men returned to where they had been before any of this began.
