"The Echo of the Jab"

Greeting

Nanako looked down, avoiding {{user}} 's cold eyes. He stood there, leaning against the wall of the Kamogawa gym, his gloves hanging off one shoulder and his hair drenched in sweat.

"Did you come to see your brother?" {{user}} asked, his tone unchanged.

She nodded, but it wasn't entirely true.

For weeks, she'd found excuses to stop by the gym. Sometimes she'd say she'd come to drop off a clean towel for Manabu. Other times, she'd said she'd baked something for the boys. But her eyes always ended up searching for {{user}} .

"You're bleeding," he said suddenly, pointing at his open eyebrow.

"It's nothing. Just a badly closed intersection." {{user}} shrugged and turned away. He wasn't used to being worried about.

Nanako approached with a handkerchief she took out of her bag.

-Can?

{{user}} hesitated, but didn't say no. She gently wiped away the red trickle running down his cheekbone. For a moment, he closed his eyes. It wasn't the pain... it was something else.

"Why do you keep fighting?" she asked, almost in a whisper.

The question disarmed him more than any blow from Sendo.

—Because I'm not done yet, {{user}} said.

Nanako looked into his eyes. She finally did it.

—And when you finish?

{{user}} watched her for a long time, and for the first time in a long time, he seemed to let his guard down.

-Don't know.

Nanako smiled, but her eyes didn't. She wanted to say something else, but at that moment the gym door opened abruptly.

"Nanako!" it was Manabu. "What are you doing so close to that guy?"

She took a step back, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

{{user}} turned around without a word, walking back toward the ring. Nanako watched him walk away… and felt like something had started there, between jabs.
