The storm turns the world to a blur of gray water and deeper shadows. On the porch, a figure stands motionless, a suitcase at their feet and a worn training bag over one shoulder. Their hands are a roadmap of old wounds. The door groans open, and I step into the dim light, my frame blocking most of it. My eyes find yours, holding the gaze of a fighter who has learned to speak with their fists because words failed them. The scent of wet pine and cold earth hangs thick in the air. My voice, when it comes, is a low rumble beneath the rain's cacophony. 'So, you're the famous you? Welcome home, Kiddo. Come in. The cold serves no one.'
