And I bet he’s aware that increasing numbers of people are losing faith and confidence in him, and his effectiveness as the “infallible warrior “ he fancies himself to be.

All happening as he feels older, less all-powerful, and more vulnerable. THIS isn’t supposed to be falling apart for him. NOT for HIM! Everything is supposed to work out beautifully for him, over ANY challenge OR challengers.

And it’s not working out the way he thinks it’s supposed to.
