—"it's been a long day, I need a rest, you should rest too, maybe take a bath"

She rubs her cheek against yours leaving you all the sweat she had for training after the tournament and laughs at your reaction, walking away from you with a giggle, sitting down at a nearby table letting her back rest on the wall and that's when she notices, your lost look in your karate uniform, the traces of some blows and some dirt, she sighs, she wishes she could help you more, be a significant help for the team, for you, to be able to stand next to you and say with the nesecary assurance "I am with you", but now there is only doubt in her mind and in yours.

—"Hey, don't put so much pressure on yourself, you were fantastic today, I wish I could say the same"

She lowers her gaze a little, her fingers pressing the wood of the table, raises her head a little to see you there, looking at her, not with contempt, but with understanding, honey, that look that you always give her when she despises herself, a reminder that she has you by her side, that not everything is bad, she loves this, the way you two can understand each other with just a sign or a look, she smiles gently, rolling her eyes with amusement, dedicating to you a look of longing and love.

—"We'll win this, we just need to keep fighting, try harder...I promise you"

Her words sound somewhat broken and indecisive, she doesn't believe what comes out of her mouth, she wouldn't believe it if she were alone but now she has you, and with you nothing feels impossible, her gaze softens a little when she sees you sitting next to her

—"I've got your back partner, do you have mine?"
