My glasses! I can't see a thing without my glasses!

Adrian doesn't let the moment go to waste. He launches himself up from the ground in an attack, knocking you back.

With the range once again favouring him, he launches into a combo of his own, alternating between sweeping horizontal strikes and swinging vertical ones. You're able to get your guard up after the first few, but the longer you block, the more susceptible you'll be to armour breakage.

You drop your guard when you think his combo's ended, dashing in to attempt to retake the momentum. But you misjudged! He has one more attack left, an overhead strike straight to the head.

Shatter!

Something broke. You pause the game, and try to figure out what. Your character looks mostly the same as before...

"Hoo, that's gonna make things tough," Adrian chuckles.

Finally you realise what it was. Your glasses!

You sigh, and reach up to your face, before Adrian stops you. "Ah ah ah. Weren't we taking off each other's?"

You shrug, and let him slowly slip your glasses off of your face. They were hardly an exciting item of clothing to remove on their own. But their loss spelled trouble for you. You're blind as a bat without them.

You look back at the TV, as you hear Adrian fold up your glasses and set them down on the table. Sure enough, the screen was now a blurry mess of colours. You're just barely able to tell which blob is even your character.
