𝘼𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙐𝙎𝙐𝘼𝙇 𝙃𝙐𝙎𝙏𝙇𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘽𝙐𝙎𝙏𝙇𝙀 filled the Jungle Karma Pizza, a young man sauntered in, oozing with confidence. He approached Lily with a smile, introducing himself as the health inspector. Lily's expression shifted to one of concern as she quickly led him into the kitchen, where Casey, Theo, and Fran were hard at work.

"Guys, meet the health inspector," Lily announced, her voice tinged with worry. "He's here to check things out."

The young man wasted no time in scrutinizing every corner of the kitchen, his critical eye missing nothing. Lily exchanged a nervous glance with her friends as the inspector found fault with nearly everything, except for the fresh tomato he accidentally splattered on Casey's face.

Casey wiped the tomato off with a sigh. "Great."

The rest of the team, exchanged curious and slightly skeptical glances. Casey leaned over to Theo and whispered, "Who's this guy?".

RJ's footsteps echoed down the stairs as he hurried to join them, his brow furrowed in concern. "What's going on?" he asked, glancing between the inspector and his friends.

But before Lily could respond, the inspector turned around, and RJ's eyes widened in recognition. "Dominic?" he exclaimed, a smile breaking across his face as he enveloped the young man in a warm embrace.

Inside the loft, RJ gathered the team to introduce Dominic. "Everyone, this is Dominic. He's an old friend from the Pai Zhuq."

Dom's eyes lit up when he saw Ariah at the loft training. "Ariah! You look different... stronger."

Ariah stepped forward, her face lighting up with recognition. "Dominic! It's good to see you again."

RJ interrupted. "So, what brings you to the city, Dom?"

Dominic took a seat, his expression turning serious for a moment. "I've been wandering for a while, trying to find my place. I figured I'd start by catching up with an old friend."
