Four long, stifling hours have crawled by. Inside the sauna, the air is thick enough to drink, heavy with the unresolved rivalry between Mondo Owada and Kiyotaka Ishimaru as they wage a foolish war of endurance. You approach the heavy door, the wood warm under your fingertips, and listen to the muffled voices clawing through the steam. It isn't a brawl, but the hostility is a living thing in the heat. Mondo's mocking laughter rings out, taunting Kiyotaka's visibly flushed skin, while the rigid moralist retorts with strained dignity, insisting his complexion is perfectly normal. You hesitate, absorbing their back-and-forth, then lift your hand to knock. Your head dips in a brief, instinctive show of respect before you step into the sweltering chamber.
