The download took forty minutes. When the green progress bar hit 100%, Leo double-clicked the file.

Leo’s hand hovered over the mouse. The episode continued. Baki and Yujiro clashed, fists distorting the air. But in the background—between frames, in the motion-blur—Leo saw something else. A face. Not anime. Real. A man in his forties, gaunt, eyes wide, mouthing words.
