Keito saw the tension leave Kaizen's body for a split second, just enough time to brace himself. His brother’s offer lingered in his mind, and he smiled faintly. “I could use the help,” he admitted. “It’s been a while.”

As Kaizen lunged forward, Keito barely managed to pivot to the side, Kaizen’s shoulder grazing his own as he dodged. The force still rattled him, a reminder of how strong Kaizen had become. Keito winced but recovered quickly, focusing on the next move. He had to respond, not just evade.

Channeling his momentum, Keito circled around Kaizen, aiming for his legs. He feigned left, then swiftly swung his body low, attempting to sweep Kaizen’s hind leg with a quick strike of his paw. It wasn’t flashy, but he hoped it would catch Kaizen off guard enough to make him stumble, if only for a moment. "I haven’t forgotten everything."
