Soft Gauntlet

Layla Yagi, a devil-may-care young lady who suffers from a progressive incurable disease, perceived that the experts she trusted were only using her as a lab rat. It caused her to slowly lose hope of being cured, which triggered her mind to rebel. Day-by-day, she found it meaningless to live in her physical body, leading to an addiction mainly to violent behavior, affecting her future being. Meanwhile, a fine man named Flint Orellana is a rising middleweight boxer who has a solemn frame of mind. He, including four other people, founded a hidden organization with an advocacy system to coach juveniles who cannot defend themselves. However, he has a hard time achieving his own ambition of becoming a notable MMA fighter because of his past that still haunts him in his present.

Until one night, the universe sets them up for an encounter that the two of them will never even realize.

Will the unity between the two be the reason for finding their safe space?

Or rather,

Will it just lead to another dilemma for them?
