Meanwhile, Ryoma is still keeping himself isolated inside his mansion, remaining in the middle of his recovery. The fight with Umemoto is easily the most brutal fight he has endured since Jade McConnel, the damage is still clearly visible on his face.
The swelling around his eyes has begun to subside, but dark bruises remain around them, spreading faintly toward his cheekbones. Several small cuts have already closed, leaving thin scabs and discoloration across his brow and cheek. His lower lip is still slightly swollen, with a small split that has yet to heal completely.
In front of him, Phantom Ryoma is holding an inverted yoga pose, his body balanced effortlessly on his forearms while his legs extend upward toward the ceiling.
