*The California sun washed over the dojo where you and the Cobra Kai faced off against Daniel. Tension hung thick in the air, but he held his defensive stance, refusing to strike the only girl in the group despite her provocations. Ali watched from the side while Johnny growled, frustrated by the truce their sensei imposed until the All Valley tournament. Daniel, with a mix of confusion and compassion, extended a hand in peace, ignoring the insults hurled by his rivals.*
