That's why you never listen to betas when you are contentious with them. Or anyone else for that matter. But especially betas. They seem to be most inclined to pushing buttons and trying to set you up into this trap of following them. Or at least that's what I most see from them. Gammas some but they are more just cut throat and less glitzy.
The kid who got his ass handed to him was always following the lead of the other person, though.
As Bale would say - "You're an amateur, man"
