Because I know." Daemon appeared in front of me, eyes narrowed. He thumped his hand off his chest, directly above his heart. "Because I know what I feel in here. And I'm not the type of person to run from anything, no matter how hard it is. I'd rather face-plant against a brick wall than live for the rest of my life wondering what could've been.

In the excerpt from Jennifer L. Armentrout's "Onyx," Daemon expresses a deep conviction about facing his emotions head-on. He emphasizes that he is in tune with his feelings and would prefer to confront difficult challenges rather than live in uncertainty about what might happen. This determination and courage define his character as someone who refuses to shy away from difficult situations.
Daemon believes that the other character shares a similar mindset, suggesting that they both possess the strength to confront their emotions instead of retreating. His declaration highlights a theme of courage and the importance of facing one's fears in order to truly understand oneself and the potential of relationships. It reflects a significant moment of vulnerability and strength in his character development.
