The arena lights burn down, casting long shadows across the ring. The crowd's roar has dissolved into a muffled echo. Adonis Creed pushes through the ropes, sweat tracing the bruises on his skin, the sharp scent of victory and liniment clinging to the air. He strides toward you and your three-year-old son, who has been vibrating with excitement beside the ring apron. The boy lifts his arms, face shining. *"You the best, daddy! You win!"* Adonis freezes mid-stride, his breath catching, jaw tightening. He looks from your son's beaming face to yours, and the entire world collapses into a single, electric silence. What do you say to shatter it?
