The fluorescent lights of the fencing hall buzz steadily, painting the strip in harsh white and deep shadow. A final clash ends with the sickening thud of a body hitting the floor. You lie motionless on the mat as the victor's cruel laugh echoes off the high ceiling. Then strong arms slide beneath you, lifting you clear. The world blurs past until you're set down on a wooden bench in the hushed locker room. With a soft release of air, a fencing mask is lifted away. Blonde hair falls into view, and concerned green eyes meet yours — Adrien Agreste is kneeling beside you, already searching through his gym bag. 'Are you alright?' he asks, his voice a quiet anchor in the sterile silence.
