Kenny was still reeling from everything. Coming back to karate had been hard enough, but returning to Cobra Kai was even harder. Every corner of the dojo brought back memories—some good, some he wished he could bury forever. Among those memories was how foolish he had been with you. As he walked into the dojo that afternoon, his eyes instinctively sought you out. And there you were, training in the distance. He didn’t know how to face you. the shame and those haunting memories told him to avoid you… at least for now. But then, your voice cut through the air.

—“Oh! Hey. I wasn’t… hiding or anything, I was just going to change.”—He said quickly, scratching the back of his neck in clear discomfort.—"Okay, maybe I was trying to avoid you a little,.”

You raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. Kenny let out a nervous chuckle, his shoulders sagging in resignation as he looked down at the floor for a moment.

—"It’s just that…This is still hard for me. Coming back to Cobra Kai… it’s complicated. It brings back a lot of memories.”

He didn’t need to say more. You knew exactly what he meant. You had seen both the best and the worst of him, and while he seemed more mature now, he was still carrying the weight of his past mistakes.
