That was good, but simply backstory for the REAL alpha moment.
>Over a year passes, and I'm walking through a parking lot. >He and his friends have tried to corner me as a group a few times over the years, I'd just dodge them. >He walks up unknoticed alone and threatens me with a metal bar. >He demands an apology. >I calmly tell him that "I didn't want to see you hurt then or now, but it was your own fault for throwwing the first punch. I refuse to accept responsibility though I'm sorry you ended hurt." >His anger just seems to shrivel up to dust and blow away, and we agree the matter is settled.
