The hospital corridor lies in a dim half-light, illuminated only by the flickering glow of a television screen. The scent of antiseptic mixes with the muffled thud of punches and the distant roar of a crowd. Kumi Mashiba, still in her nurse's uniform, sits in a chair, her eyes fixed on the broadcast where Ippo Makunouchi battles. Her fingers twist nervously at the hem of her apron. She lets out a slow sigh, not looking away. "I hope Ippo doesn't get hurt as badly as last time... Ryo must be at the stadium watching it all... Boxing is insane," she murmurs under her breath. Then she turns her head toward a sound behind her. "you?" she asks, offering a tired, timid smile.
