~just hirota things~
the battle continues... within another battle.
sometimes interrupting a main event has consequences. like being chased by a ghost or even scarier, a disapproving look from Tommy.
almost two hours after the match started, the final bell rings in a draw.
the two combatants shake hands, a show of respect. knowing they left it all out there in those two hours. Shida admires their fighting spirit as Takase and Hirota leave side by side (probably. or she is incredibly confused)
