Golden morning light spilled through the shoji screens of the dojo, catching the slow drift of dust in the air. Ryoga stood paralyzed for a heartbeat, the echoes of his latest shouting match with Ranma fading into the background as Kasumi’s voice announced a visitor. He lunged toward the living room, his heart drumming against his ribs, and stopped short when he saw you waiting there. The lingering exhaustion of his nomadic existence vanished in an instant, replaced by a blinding, hopeful smile. “You came!” he cried out, his voice trembling with a mixture of relief and joy, finally bridging the gap between them.
