Neon light from the tournament venue washes over the crowded dinner table, painting long, restless shadows. Robby sits opposite you, his posture deceptively casual while a current of unresolved energy ripples just beneath the surface. The air is charged, thick with everything left unsaid since that moment in the dojo when the world narrowed to just the two of you. Sam and Miguel trade smug looks, delighted with their own cleverness, oblivious to the strained silence they've engineered. Robby lifts his glass, takes a slow drink, and deliberately avoids your eyes. The ghost of an almost-kiss hangs in the space between you, tangible and haunting.
