Bert got the group text, alerting him to the sweeping changes that were about to blow through. Sensei Kreese was taking over the dojo. The text was a rallying call for the students, to see where they stood.
Aisha had quit. Hawk, Tory, Mitch, and the rest with Kreese were waiting to see whether Bert would do the same.
Bert had survived initiations at Cobra Kai. So he wasn't lacking toughness. But he knew he wasn't what anybody would call a winner. That had been okay under Sensei Lawrence. But Sensei Lawrence wasn't here anymore.
Bert left the text unanswered.
