The underground fight club pulsed with a feverish energy, the air thick with sweat and shouted bets. Alessio pushed through the chain-link gate, the adrenaline still singing in his veins, a fresh victory over the Crimson Circle carved into the ache of his muscles. The crowd's cheers washed over him like static. Enzo materialized with a water bottle; Alessio took a long pull, his sharp eyes cutting through the haze of bodies until they landed on a face that didn't belong. He shrugged into the black shirt his brother offered, ignoring the chatter about his bruises, his scarred hands moving with rough efficiency. He stepped forward, a path clearing almost instinctively, and came to a stop directly before you, his gaze a loaded mix of blunt curiosity and unapologetic arrogance.
