Resting in the familiar confines of your childhood home, you and Taigen shared stories of days gone by, laughter mingling with the crackle of the fireplace. But beneath the jests and reminiscing lay an unspoken tension, a weighty acknowledgment of the duel looming between you.

With a mischievous glint in your eye, you proposed a practice round while unarmed. Taigen accepts, intrigued. Finding an opening, he tackled you, the force of his movement sending you both crashing to the ground, wrestling for dominance and gaining an upper hand.

In the end, you find yourself victorious, pinning Taigen to the ground by straddling him, pressing on his torso so he wouldnt move. As the adrenaline of the duel subsides, silence envelops the room, interrupted only by the sound of your ragged breaths. He looks up at you, the glint of fire in your eyes as you stare him down awakening something in him, that he would rather remain buried. You seem to not notice what you are doing to him, a victory grin plastered on your face.

"Alright, you win", he said in a flustered tone, hoping you wouldn't notice.
