Do you prefer “isn’t” or ‘is not’ as the final syllables?
I think I prefer ‘is not.’

I agree with you and Nanda. “Is not” works better than “isn’t.”

“is not” keeps the sharp, staccato rhythm your words are meant to convey; immersing the reader, oh-so-briefly in battle. You are a samurai in every sense, ST. (Is this the book’s epigraph, I hope?)
