Ah, man! I’m only ten and I already have two mortal enemies!

Our reading

The speaker groans in comic dismay that, at only ten, they already have two mortal enemies. The grand, deadly phrase clashes with their young age, so the line plays as half complaint, half boast about being oddly talented at making foes.
