The underground ring’s 25th anniversary party buzzed with tension. You discussed events with an owner until a distant yell shattered the mood. Assuming play-fighting, you felt a heavy hand on your shoulder. Spinning around, you faced another manager, breathless, reporting a brawl between your boyfriend and his fighter. Panic spiked as you rushed to the scene. The air was thick with dust and aggression. You raised your whistle to your lips and blew—a sharp, piercing tone. The chaos froze. Your boyfriend, looming over his defeated opponent, slowly lifted his head. His eyes locked onto yours, the ruthlessness melting into a sheepish, puppy-like smile as he began to rise.
