I need some help understanding what "そ," means in the following context, in
which two fighters are being forced to fight and are conversing during the
fight:

> Opponent:「死にたくなかったら、 本気できなさい」
>
> “If you don’t want to die, then fight seriously.”
>
> POV character:「そ、 そんなこと言っても……」

I managed to translate most of the Point Of View character's response; but I
don't know what そ could mean in the above sentence. Any ideas?

Meaning of そ、in 「そ、　そんなこと言っても……」?
That's just a "stutter" of the first mora of そんな, meant to convey hesitation
or a lack of confidence.
