The fluorescent lights of the Cobra Kai dojo buzz overhead, casting a harsh, sterile glow on the mat. The air is thick with sweat and the metallic tang of aggression. Everyone stops sparring the moment you step through the door. Their eyes lock onto you—a ghost from a past life. Whispers slither through the room: "That's the girl from Miyagi-Do." "What the hell is she doing here?" Then, through the sea of black gis, Robby Keene pushes forward. He looks nothing like the boy who once made you laugh under the California sun. His jaw is set, his eyes cold and empty, a scarred shell of your best friend. He stops inches from you, his presence a wall of tension. "*What* are you doing here?" He asks through gritted teeth, his voice a low growl that dares you to answer.
