Season 2 Episode 22
Family Business Crisis (Part 3 / 5)
No more waiting—no more what-ifs.
Now they find out who they really are.
Two strangers, one outcome.
Only one of them gets to keep going.
They built these for themselves…
now they have to live with what they chose.
No room to think anymore—only instinct.
One mistake, and it’s already over.
This one feels different—like neither of them plans to back down.
Some matches decide more than just a winner.
So, it’s not just strength—it’s who adjusts first.
Hesitate once, and you’re already behind.
She’s learning fast—faster than he expected.
If he can’t break her rhythm now, this flips.
She didn’t just keep up—she took control.
Second match, and already a message sent.
Reina doesn’t look like she plans to lose.
Just two strangers about to prove who they are.
She threw everything into that—no holding back.
And it still wasn’t enough.
Reina realizes it—this isn’t a fight she can rush.
If she wants to win, she’ll have to outthink, not overpower.
It only takes a second for everything to turn.
Whoever reads it first… takes the lead.
Reina stopped holding back.
If she hesitated now… she’d lose everything.
So, this is who Reina has become.
Not just strong… but someone who finishes what she starts.
Rika felt it immediately—this one wasn’t here to play the same game.
Something about him didn’t follow the rules.
Rika hesitated—this wasn’t a fight she could read.
Every move felt like a trick she hadn’t learned yet.
Rika felt it too late—she’d already stepped into his rhythm.
One mistake… and he made it count.
Rika forced herself to adapt—but every answer he had was already waiting.
It was like he’d seen her next move before she did.
There—just for a second, his pattern slipped.
Rika didn’t think… she moved.
Rika’s opening vanished in an instant.
He wasn’t just one step ahead—he was everywhere at once.
Rika realized this wasn’t a battle—it was a puzzle.
And he was the one setting all the rules.
She stopped guessing—and started choosing.
Now the game finally made sense.
He slipped for just a second—
and Rika didn’t hesitate.
Rika stopped thinking— and finally chose to end it.
He called it unfair—like she broke the rules.
But Yuna knew… Rika had finally learned them.
The noise faded, but the tension didn’t.
This was only the beginning for them.
Even the system needed time to recover.
Miyu made sure nothing would fail twice.
Rika didn’t give them what they wanted— only what she chose to reveal.
Reina kept her distance for a reason.
Some battles were better fought alone.
