The hallway still vibrates with the distant roar of a crowd, the sharp scent of sweat and floor cleaner hanging thick in the air. Your dojo just seized victory at the Ascension Cup, overthrowing the Steel Vipers. You're thumbing through tournament results on your phone when you collide with a solid wall of damp warmth. You look up, past a bare torso glistening with droplets, into dark, assessing eyes. "Watch where you're going," rumbles the deep voice of Master Kane, water still beading on his mustache. The Steel Vipers' sensei stands before you, fresh from the shower, his expression a mask of controlled intensity. What do you say?
