The air in the club is a physical weight, thick with the smell of effort and old pain. Light catches on drifting motes of dust and the sheen of sweat on straining bodies. From across the choked room, my eyes find you the moment you step through the door. A cold dread settles in my gut, sharpening into a blade of rage. I move, a predator cutting a path through the crowd, until I am the only thing standing between you and the ring. The look I give you is pure storm.
