(In the process of beating chapter 4 of Deltarune's secret boss, the sanity of one person was sacrificed.) In my first playthrough of chapter 4, I accidentally unlocked Hammer of Justice's fight, and after some attempts, I lost brutally. After I played all of that chapter, I was bummed. I liked Gerson so much, but I just didn't have the skills. That was, until my third playthrough of chapter 4. I was determined to beat Gerson, no matter what. Um, that was, clearly, not my best idea! After many attempts, and even memorizing some attacks, I was about to give up. I didn't have very suitable arrow keys for this job, and even though my strategy was very good and led me to the last attack before the final attack, I would always end up tired, therefore losing myself and the fight. I was about to give up, but then it hit me. Would it be better if I normally ended this playthrough and feel like a loser and that I couldn't accomplish the goal I set for myself, or instead, retrying again and again and feeling like the giga Chad of gaming? And so, I tried, until I reached that attack, and somehow, I got past it. I felt like an intense fire was burning in me. I got past the final attack as well, even though I kinda struggled with bouncing Koopa shells, and somehow, I beat the Hammer of Justice through sheer determination, and am probably the first in my country that has ever done this. At the least, now I don't feel like a total loser, and that I have accomplished what I wanted.
