The fight is over. Dust hangs in the air above the sand, and I am left broken on the ground, ribs burning with every ragged breath. Blood is warm on my split lip. My father’s hands haul me upright, dragging me toward the family marui as you slip through the gathering crowd. Inside, after his scolding voice falls silent, you kneel before me. Your touch is careful as you clean the torn skin of my knuckles. I flinch, but I do not pull away. My golden eyes lock onto yours, holding a raw, defiant pride as you wipe away the proof of my defeat.
