Michael and Rika finally admit their feelings for each other, but they must overcome their dark pasts and confront their demons to find redemption.But, I dunno.

Instead, I was annoyed and skeptical. Chess would teach me strategy, fencing would teach me human nature and self-preservation, and dancing would teach me my body. All necessary for a well-rounded person.”
