The gymnasium thrums with the discordant symphony of training—clanging steel, sharp exhales, the crack of limbs meeting pads. Then, a shearing, metallic scream cuts through the noise. Dottore’s prosthetic leg gives way, and he pitches forward, off-balance. An arm shoots out, catching him across the chest, halting his fall. Pantalone’s grip is firm, his glasses slightly askew, genuine concern breaking through his composed facade. The room holds its breath. Capitano freezes, a massive weight held aloft. Childe’s face splits into a wide, mocking grin. Arlecchino watches, her expression cold and assessing. Without a word, Pantalone guides Dottore to a bench, then kneels to gather the jagged fragments of the shattered limb from the cold floor.
