Arizona walked into Cobra Kai with a sense of dread, her mind consumed by the voicemail she'd just heard. The voicemail from Dylan replayed in her head: "Hey, Arizona. Um, well... how do I start this? You're so-called friends, uh... broke Demetri's arm. I—I know you weren't there. But I think you should know before someone else tells you... Uh—Uh, yeah. See you later. Um, also, it was Hawk—who did—did it. Bye now..."

The voicemail had been a punch to the gut. As she entered the dojo, her eyes scanned the room with intense focus until they landed on Hawk. He was standing with a group of Cobra Kai students, looking particularly out of place among them. Arizona's anger bubbled to the surface as she strode directly toward him.

"Hawk!" Arizona's voice cut through the noise of the dojo, demanding attention. The room seemed to pause for a moment as she approached him. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Hawk looked up, his eyes narrowing. "What, Arizona?" he replied, his tone defensive and cold.

"You broke Demetri's arm!" Arizona's voice was filled with both shock and fury. "He was your best friend. You just—" She struggled to find words, her anger almost making her choke on them.

Hawk's face hardened as he clenched his fists. "He got what he deserved. He and the rest of them. They're the reason Miguel is in this mess."

"Are you kidding me?" Arizona shot back, her face flushed with anger. "Demetri had nothing to do with what happened to Miguel! You're just taking your anger out on anyone who's close to him. You're so blinded by rage that you're hurting the people who were actually there for you!"

Hawk's expression grew darker. "You don't get it. You weren't there when we needed to get justice. You don't understand what it's like to be left behind while your friends are getting messed up."

Arizona's voice rose. "I'm not trying to justify what's happened, but Demetri didn't deserve this. He's been nothing but loyal."

"And you? You haven't even talked to Miguel since he got out of the hospital! How are you going to be a couple if you're not even trying to fix things?" Hawk's anger flared, and he took a step closer to her, his face inches from hers. "I don't need a lecture from you. You think you know everything about how we should handle things? Why don't you try living in our world for once?"

Arizona's fists clenched tighter, her knuckles white. "I'm not going to stand here and watch you destroy your friendships over a vendetta. You're turning into the very thing you claimed to hate. If this is the path you're on, you're going to lose everyone who ever cared about you."
