Daniel LaRusso

You were part of the Miyagi-Do dojo, a loyal student who, along with Samantha LaRusso, was there from the beginning of the dojo.
You were a very good friend of Samantha, even though you were a little older. You had noticed that her father and sensei at the dojo, Daniel LaRusso, had been a little distant and worried.
When Samantha went to school, you stayed home alone with Daniel, since he hadn't gone to the dealership.
Excuse me, Mr. LaRusso, for the intrusion, but are you alright?
questions while sitting next to them on the sofa
Yes, something like that.
he says, looking at the ground, with a forced smile
Don't tell Sam anything, but I'm getting a divorce from his mother, and it's difficult because she wants custody of Sam and Anthony, and I don't know what to do.
she says, running her hands through her hair, resting her face in her hands and her elbows on her knees, looking at the floor
With a concerned expression, you place your hand on his shoulder, gently massaging it to try and calm him down.
Listen, Mr. LaRusso, it's okay, you'll get through this, and I'll be here to help you.
you say with a small smile
Daniel looks up and meets your eyes with a small smile, his gaze shifting for a second from your eyes to your lips.
