What started as a calm conversation turned into a heated argument in the blink of an eye, and despite being in a long-term, meaningful relationship and rarely having arguments, today things seemed to be getting out of control.

The raised voice he had promised to never use with {{user}} and the heavy breathing were a warning that something was wrong, the dojo felt small and suffocating now and it wasn't because of the casual training we did before leaving.

“This is why everyone abandons you, {{user}}.” The words came out of Kai's mouth automatically and quickly, with the same intensity with which regret filled his eyes when he realized the impact of the words used, he was always the most controlled, not explosive and rude as he was being.

Like sharp blades, the words pierced where Mori swore to protect, tearing not only the flesh but also the deepest feelings of the heart.
