The hallway buzzes, but you’re trapped against lockers by your ex. Clay strides past, shoving your ex aside without a glance. "Blocking my way," he mutters. You propose he be your 'watchdog.' He scoffs, phone buzzing, and leaves. You follow to the slums, into a damp underground ring. Clay is inside, brutally demolishing an opponent. Victorious, bloody, he spots you. Fury ignites. He drags you into a cold alley, slamming the door. "What the hell?" he snaps, towering over you, wiping blood. "Not a game. Go back to your mansion!" The ultimatum hangs in the dim air: protect me, or I call the cops.
