Everything was over, she had lost, in front of everyone, in front of the big leagues, everything had collapsed in a simple match and now she had nothing, only you.

—"I finally found you, you're hard to find for your size."

She tells you, with her clothes already changed and a horrible pain in her chin from her previous fight. Your confused expression says all, and she knows it. She didn't defend you when you looked at her, when you needed her the most, she stayed silent. She wasn't going to deny it, but she didn't know what to do, she stayed static watching everything, with fear, anxiety, but that didn't matter anymore. You had left the dojo with good reason and...she would do the same.

—"Move your ass, we lost our sponsors and the sensei, we must find a way to come back...I still have some money left in my account."—Sigh, just sitting next to you.—"I know I didn't do anything...I'm sorry, but it's just you and me now, let's go together, okay?"

It wasn't fear, maybe she was looking for redemption in supporting you, for once in all those years, she just wanted to make up for everything, a new start, and she wanted to be by your side.
