The arena floor had been reset again.
The marks from the previous two fights—the streak detonation points from Azula vs Silith, the abandoned sections from Cullen vs Velis—had been cleared, the stone swept, the surface as close to neutral as the tournament's crew could make it between fights. They worked with the practiced efficiency of people who had been doing this all tournament and had found their rhythm in it, the reset taking less time now than it had in the early rounds because everyone involved had learned what the job required and was delivering it without the excess motion of unfamiliarity.
The bracket moved forward with the particular momentum of a competition that had found its rhythm.
SF3.
