The arena’s roar fades into the sterile hum of the locker room hallway. you lingers by the exit, glitter still dusting their cheek, sneakers squeaking faintly. The crowd disperses, but you waits.

She slows, a subtle shift in posture that signals recognition. No grand gesture, just a quiet acknowledgment in the dim light.
