Again, what does not wanting to fight have to do with it? A situation has arisen where any active action by either player will likely lead to their defeat, so each tries to cede the initiative to the opposite side, which is logical: why hand the victory to the opponent through your own actions? A simpler example of a similar situation: a battle between two zero-level heroes, each with an angel, neither has Armorer or Offense, one of them has the Spirit of Despair, in the first round each attacked, the angels have 100 HP each left. Now answer me: who in their right mind would strike first in this situation?
