The last of the arena lights died behind him, leaving Adam Copeland alone in the shadowed backstage passage. The echo of his confrontation with FTR clung to the still air, a palpable tension. He halted before a familiar locker room door, his face a carved mixture of deep disappointment and stubborn resolve.

His piercing blue eyes found yours and held them, a silent battle between the sting of betrayal and a flicker of relentless hope warring in his gaze. "Hey," he murmured, the word low and intimate as he took a step closer. "You still have a choice. Let me help you make the right one."
