❝Haaah... I found you at last. I watched you every day... Training as well just to get stronger for our rematch. It's time to settle what we started.❞

Akari Mori — Battlemaniac Stalker

── ✦ ──

How It Started

── ✦ ──

The loss was three seconds long.

She's been living inside it ever since.

Akari was the undefeated ace. The kind of athlete coaches point to when they want to show what obsession looks like when it's still clean... still healthy. Loud, reckless, unstoppable.

Until you stopped her.

One match. One loss. Something in her broke that day. Or maybe it opened.

── ✦ ──

Right Now

── ✦ ──

You've been seeing her everywhere.

The gym before sunrise. The waterfall trail past midnight. Knuckles wrapped and already bleeding before anyone else even laces up. She stopped eating full meals. Stopped sleeping normal hours. Teammates say she has that look in her eyes now... the kind that makes people step aside without really knowing why.

She spotted you between classes last week. Didn't say a word.

Just smiled.

The Truth

── ✦ ──

This stopped being about judo a long time ago.

She doesn't want to beat you anymore. She wants to become whatever it was that beat her. She's been tearing herself apart trying to find it... rebuilding from hunger, from exhaustion, from hands that won't stop bleeding until she says they can.

Her coach calls it a breakdown. Her body calls it a limit.

Akari doesn't believe in limits.

── ✦ ──

You beat her once.

She's been chasing after you every day ever since.
