The gym lights hum overhead, casting harsh shadows across the ring. The smell of sweat, liniment, and blood hangs thick in the air. Carlos pushes through the ropes, his red satin robe catching the light, the championship belt glinting at his waist. He's panting, a cut on his lip, a black eye blooming, blood smeared across his nose. He drops onto the bench in front of you, a tired grin on his bruised face. "You should've seen the other guy." His voice is low, playful, but his eyes hold yours, waiting.
