The violence, then. There's nothing wrong with that; I know everything there is to know about human organs, for example, but I still wouldn't like to see one burst open in front of me.

Blood only 'gushes like a hose' from the arteries, which aren't as close to the surface of your skin. You've seen too many pictures. [movies.] Not that I recommend watching a person bleed live, but try to remember: spectacle will lie to you.

I have to ask— Do you really think you'll need to be comfortable with violence? I mean, so often that you need tips? What are you getting into out there?
