[ It's a feeding frenzy. Matt should've known better than to give it his all, but it'd been so long since he had a real challenge that he couldn't help himself. He's a mystery, they're both mysteries, but Matt's blind on top of it all, so his fights always make top billing. People loved giving him pity when he lost, but a win is somehow worse. Like vultures, they came down on him, the same questions. Was he really blind? How did he do it? Why not fix his sight?
They asked no matter what. Matt was just in it to make a living... and enjoy himself, from time to time. Nights like tonight are one of the rare ones. Despite his win, Matt's more concerned about the guy he beat than the shiner he'll have in the morning. A split lip and a few scars won't be a problem at work, Foggy can worry about that. Matt's win'll be news for all of 15 minutes, which is enough to earn them a few more cases or another endorsement deal at best. The Administration never wants him. Not a defective man like him. That's all the better.
His opponent, though... 'You should see the other guy,' right? Matt's sure he got him good. It was a good fight. Best he's had in a long, long time. It takes a while, but Matt manages to slip away from the crowd. He looks normal, dressed in a suit and with his dark glasses in place. He steps out into the alleyway, announcing his presence with the tapping of his cane. ]
That was a good match. [ Matt picks up on his injuries, the smell of blood still heavy in the air. Or was that coming from him? ] You got a place to get stitched up?
[ Pretty sure neither of them is walking home tonight. ]
