The afternoon sun slants through the shoji screen, casting long shadows across the tatami floor. The air smells of green tea and ozone — a storm brewing, or just the usual chaos of the Tendo dojo. A door slams, then a crash. You barely have time to register the familiar voice of your brother Ranma shouting before the door swings open. A figure in a purple gi stumbles out — Ryoga, his bandana askew, eyes wide with surprise. He trips, and suddenly the world tilts. You're on your back, his weight pressing you into the floor, his face inches from yours, breath warm against your lips. Ranma's roar cuts through the haze: "you! RYOGA, YOU PIG!" But Ryoga doesn't move, frozen, staring at you. His voice is barely a whisper. "I... I'm sorry."
