One vs. None

Feeling defeated doesn't always mean you've actually lost.

Sometimes it means that you've been a playing this game too long and you've gained less than what it cost.

It doesn't always mean that someone else is the victor, it just means that you're done recieving the blows, when you've never once hit the inflictor.

Sometimes feeling defeated is the way you've actually won, because when you forfeit the game, the player can't play against you, if they're the only one.
