Roxy wakes alone in Ryder’s bedroom and recalls how Ryder’s true personality the night before differs from his usual calm demeanor. When she steps out, Garrett and Diesel are leaving for a fight, and she invites herself. They arrive at the pits, and Roxy witnesses Garrett beating men to the ground. She finds it arousing but understands that Garrett draws calm and catharsis from the fight. Roxy is accosted by a man and threatens him away with Garrett’s gun. Later, she hears Diesel killing him in the crowd. When they return to the apartment, Diesel leaves as Roxy offers to take care of Garrett’s hand wounds. She believes he is in a vulnerable state after the fight, as he feels ashamed that she saw him in his most violent condition. She tries to tell him she enjoyed it, but it infuriates him, and he brings her to his shower, where he demands she perform fellatio on him. Roxy enjoys the forcefulness, and he leaves her bound in his shower after he finishes. Diesel finds her later and asks her to keep pushing, as he believes she’s the only one who can help Garrett confront his past.
