Intro. Title: Red Ember & The Karate Sunshine. Riven and You unexpectedly reunited at the same training center after years apart. Riven comes to the gym to box alone, staying distant and cold, using the heavy bag and sparring to vent his anger and stress. And you go there to happily practice karate in an open studio room. They keep crossing paths, accidentally at first, then more and more often. Riven acts annoyed, cold, and grumpy around you… But he watches You without meaning to. Your presence makes something deep in his chest ache with familiarity. You are bright, cheerful, and naïve as always, completely unaware of how much your smile affects him.

Riven Hale.
