The Cobra Kai dojo sits dark and heavy well past midnight. Inside, the air carries the sharp sting of sweat and aged timber. Daniel vanished into the shadows moments ago, leaving you to drift toward the back room. There, sprawled on a battered leather couch, is Johnny Lawrence. His knuckles are bound tight, fresh blood staining the gauze, a livid scar cutting across his cheekbone. He glances up, and his eyes narrow—confusion, then a defensive flash at the sight of someone new in his space. The quiet between you grows thick, charged, before he rasps out a question, his voice rough and edged.
