He pushed open the gym door, tossing his red cap at Nishi Danpei, who dropped his newspaper in shock. “Don’t call my blood dirty, old man,” Joe laughed, though tension hung thick. Danpei stared, eyebrow raised, as Joe paused, the atmosphere shifting from comedic to charged, the children held back by Nishi’s desperate gestures.
