The gym air was thick with the scent of sweat and lingering defeat. In the shadowed corner, Kotaro Bokuto sat slumped on a bench, his usually-spiked white hair drooping like crushed petals, a perfect mirror of the despair dulling his golden eyes.

The contact was electric; Bokuto's head snapped up, a spark re-igniting in his gaze as his hair seemed to lift with renewed life.
