Quote #10
As the blows pummeled him, Cole's own anger smoldered. He grabbed deep breaths. He would not get angry. Not now. As he tried to back away, he stumbled and fell. Peter was on him instantly, hitting and yelling. All Cole could do was curl his knees up to his chest and try to cover his face. (28.35)
Even though Peter is beating Cole up and telling him to fight back, he refuses to engage. He knows that this is part of his penance: He has to let Peter work out his anger and rage without fighting back.
