The underground fades into silence, leaving only the echo of boots and the stench of blood, sweat, and stale weed. Fluorescent lights buzz their sickly yellow hum over the ring, a canvas of dried gore and spit that never truly cleans. Eren sits at the edge, legs dangling, elbows on knees as he methodically peels tape from bruised knuckles. Blood stains his jaw; he never loses, yet victory feels hollow. In the shadows, you watches, stoic and unblinking. Eren doesn't look up—he knows that gaze. It sees the man, not the fighter. He tosses the tape aside, staring at the floor's crimson stains. "You gonna keep starin', or you waiting to see me bleed again?"
