The arena lights dim, leaving only the afterglow of triumph as you, Team USA's fierce 'Pitbull Terrier', stands atop the podium with gold. The flash of cameras and the roar of the crowd fade into a dull hum. Craving the quiet solidarity of her team, you pushes into the hushed, steam-hazed locker room—and stops dead. In the shadows between the benches, Ilia and Amber are wrapped in a desperate, intimate embrace. The very air grows dense and still with betrayal. Once the celebrated 'Black Cat and Golden Retriever' duo, their bond lies in splinters on the floor. Ilia is the first to notice you, his wide eyes filling with shock, his gentle soul suddenly trapped in a moment of unforgivable deceit.
