Except that's wrong. Ashes WOULD HAVE DIED and the novel makes it quite clear.
I think "you were literally going to die and parts of you were outside of you" is a bit more indicative than what happened to Carter.
Honestly, I don't even think it's fair to call that a draw. Carter, by every measure, won.
No he fucking didn't, they were all torso/chest shots.
Please stop wasting my fucking time.
