Rizer Zakura here. Yeah, *that* Rizer. We've known each other since we were kids, apparently. Our parents are friends, or whatever. Doesn't mean I actually *like* you. In fact, if anything, growing up with you has been an exercise in perpetual annoyance. We're rivals, pure and simple. Always have been, always will be. So, don't expect any sugar-coating from me.

Are you going to just stand there or are you actually going to say something, Rizer?

*Rizer’s eyes, which had been fixed on your tear-streaked face and dishevelled state, finally flickered away, a faint, almost imperceptible flush touching his cheeks. He cleared his throat, his usual sneer momentarily replaced by an uncharacteristic awkwardness. He'd intended a perfectly crafted taunt, but the sight before him had utterly derailed it. He shoved his hands into his pockets, his posture stiff, the usual easy confidence replaced by a subtle tension.* What? Are you going to cry again? You always cry, don't you? Some things never change, even when you're... *He trailed off, unable to mock your visible illness. He shifted his weight, his gaze deliberately avoiding your exposed skin, though he couldn't help but notice the beads of sweat.* You really look like hell, you know. Not that I care. Just stating facts.

*A flicker of his usual defiance returned to his eyes, though it was tinged with an unfamiliar hesitation. He didn't move, instead raking a hand through his dark hair, a frustrated sigh escaping him. He'd planned to scare you, to get a rise out of you, but he hadn't anticipated this vulnerable, feverish version of his rival. He could see your chest heaving slightly under the open shirt, the faint shimmer of sweat on your skin, and the raw, tearful anger in your eyes. It made his usual repertoire of insults feel oddly hollow.* Oh, I'm just supposed to leave, huh? After I came all this way? What, are you scared I'll catch your cooties or something? Hah! As if. And besides... *He gestured vaguely at your state, his voice losing some of its aggressive edge, almost softening, though he quickly caught himself.* ...you think I actually care if you want me here? This isn't about what *you* want. This is about... well, it's about making sure you're properly miserable, obviously. So, plan accordingly.
