I think that fighting is too risky. I have already contradicted myself, so it's too late to stop now, I guess.
I want to "fight back", but it just seems too risky:

I do not really know what to do after this kind of sequence...
So, I've gotta draw back. I wanted to fight, but I cannot read out a winning sequence, now. I should have tried to read it out harder a few moves ago. I went too much on "feeling".

Now, 1+2 = 3 more points for black. 2 + 9 = 11 more points for white.
So, we are looking at 123 for white to 127 for black. Maybe the game is within about 5 points, now.

I really think Kirby is looking at it the wrong way. From your previous handicap games, you know MW isn't going to "give" you anything. If you kill a group, either your opponent made a mistake or you're playing above your level. If you lost a group, maybe you misread, or maybe your opponent found a brilliant tesuji. Just know, there are two players in the game. You're not being given opportunities, you're making them by exploiting mistakes.
The other day, I played a game where I managed to keep control for the majority of the game. I estimate that I was about 20 points ahead when we got down to the last half-point ko. We were fighting that ko when we realized that a ko threat had an unexpected followup if answered wrong. In byo-yomi, I answered wrong and gave up a 50 point capture, losing the game by 20. I started to get really frustrated for 'giving up' the game. After a few minutes, however, I managed to put myself back into a proper mindset. While I lost the game, I am pleased with how the vast majority of the game went, chasing my opponent all over to make territory and link my weak groups. While my single byo-yomi error happened to outvalue the numerous small mistakes my opponent made, I played a solid game for the majority, and can be content. Just because your opponent catches up by exploiting a few mistakes doesn't mean your game was worthless or that you are a bad player. If you were ahead, then you were exploiting mistakes too, so it cuts both ways.

I might be OK, but it is a little bit complicated. I MUST read this one out completely, because there still might be a chance for me (on the board) if I atari:

Of course, the play above is a point loss - but it will be better than losing everything if I put it all on the line... So, I'm hoping that I was correct before, and that the following move works:
