[It's very hard for Palaeno to see what's going on with Matt forcing his head back like that, but he can spot part of the scuffle from the corner of his eye and he definitely saw that bottle swing by. That knowledge and Kristoph's words serve to make Palaeno feel a little guilty. Someone just got clobbered over the head because he was trying to save him. Maybe Kristoph should've just left him behind and made for the door instead, then at least one of them would've still gotten away.
Now his only salvation is gone and a bloodied, washed-up action hero is back to trying to force coffee down his throat. Maybe he can try to blind Matt by going straight for his eyes.]
