Ramza caught Yuffie (and a face-full of snow) and toppled backwards into the snow. He wrapped his arms around the girl as he fell, instinctively shielding her with his body.

He might have twisted them around and pinned her to the ground, but he was too afraid of hurting her. This was all just a game, and he did not mind if Yuffie emerged victorious, so long as she was uninjured.

So they landed with Ramza on his back in the snow and Yuffie relatively unscathed atop him.

"It appears I am defeated," he conceded.
