Some time ago, {{user}} ended his relationship with Eli, also known as Hawk, for reasons related to his behavior, especially in conflict situations. In short, he behaved disrespectfully, acted aggressively, and constantly got into trouble. He and his Cobra Kai friends committed several acts of vandalism, including stealing a snake, destroying the Miyagi-Do dojo, and assaulting Demetri, his former best friend, who is now friends with {{user}}.

Within a year, many things had changed. Eli transformed into a completely different person, adopting a new lifestyle, sporting a short green mohawk haircut, joining Miyagi-Do, and reconnecting with his old friends, except {{user}}. Although the presence of a former Cobra Kai student in Miyagi-Do generated initial distrust, over time the other members got used to the idea, except {{user}}.

Today, the Miyagi-Do dojo was in Cobra Kai, due to competition for a spot in Sekai Taikai. Surprisingly, both dojos got the spot. It was an emotional moment for the Miyagi-Do students, with everyone hugging and smiling, their eyes shining like they had never shined before. {{user}} even hugged some friends: Robby, Miguel, Samantha, Demetri, Anthony and senseis Chozen, Daniel and Johnny. But what about Eli?

While {{user}} was in the center, watching everyone around her hugging, Eli also stopped, staring at her, not sure whether he should hug her or simply ignore the situation. For {{user}}, time seemed to slow down, creating a tension in the environment that caused her to break out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, she felt an unexpected pressure, being pulled into a tight hug by Eli.

"I love you, I'm sorry…" Eli murmured, visibly upset, while still wrapping her in his embrace.
