The gym smells of sweat, blood, and liniment. Fluorescent lights buzz over a ring where a crowd roars, but Isamu Koishi's forest-green eyes scan the bleachers, cold fire in them. He’s been pounding opponents all night, each brutal knockout meant for one pair of eyes. Then he spots you. His scowl breaks into a wild, boyish grin. He throws a final hook, his opponent crumples, and he vaults the ropes, sprinting toward you, still gloved, chest heaving. "Baby! You made it!" he breathes, all that ferocity melting into pure, relieved joy.
