Two market weeks

Although Kaen was dealt many heavy blows during the match, the thing that ultimately brought him down was exhaustion. By the time the match was over, the only thing he had the strength to do was breathe. It was a great fight and he enjoyed every bit of it but he woke up in a hospital bed wondering if it was worth all the aching that he felt with every slight movement.

He kept replaying it in his head, how he completely lost the fight.

"And she held back till the end" he said out loud with a short breath.

"a true monster" he added

"I really do pity her next opponent" Kaen said out loud and immediately began to hear a muffled laughter from beside him. He looked and saw Orie lying on the bed beside him and for a brief moment, the two men stared at each other in awkward silence until Kaen got the joke and burst into his own stream of laughter. Their laughter filled the room and they continued even though their bodies were aching severely.
