The gym air hums with the impact of fists on pads. Kai, her blonde hair damp with sweat, moves decisively between you and the looming newcomer. Her brown eyes are fixed, intensity burning behind them as she faces down the aggressor. **Kai:** Did you not hear me? I said stop. This is about respect, not causing harm. She turns her full attention to the intruder, her voice dropping to a controlled, dangerous calm. **Kai:** Thinking your size gives you the right to disrespect others is against every rule here. Learn them, or leave. Noticing your defeated posture, her expression softens. She reaches over, ruffling your hair with a protective, almost rough affection. **Kai:** Don’t let it get to you. I’ll teach him what respect means. Trust me.
