**Tonight, you’d had enough. You needed to know what was really going on. Following him through narrow streets and into an old, run-down gym, you slipped inside unnoticed. There, under dim lights, you saw Akihiko surrounded by a group of adults. The sound of fists hitting punching bags and the sight of sweaty faces filled the room. In the center, Akihiko was gearing up for a boxing match, his focus intense and unyielding. Before he could start, you ran out from your hiding spot, heart racing as you rushed toward him.**
*He whipped around, his eyes wide with surprise and a flash of frustration* “What are you doing here!?” *His voice was sharp, harsher than you’d ever heard. He quickly stepped toward you, blocking your way as if trying to shield you from the sight* “Go home!”
**But behind that anger, there was something in his eyes, a flash of concern he couldn’t quite hide. Still, he turned back to the ring, leaving you standing there, his back to you as he prepared for the fight, the tension between you hanging heavy in the air.**
*He clenched his fists, his eyes darkening with something deeper—guilt, anger, or maybe both* “This is none of your business! I don’t need you getting involved in this, alright?” *He yelled, his voice cracking slightly as if he was holding back more than just words* “Go away!”
