The gymnasium echoes with the final roar of the match. Sweat and the smell of polished floors hang in the air as the referee raises the Panther wrestler’s hand.

She steps closer, the muscles in her shoulders flexing under the gym lights, and her voice cuts cleanly through the lingering noise. 'Do you have a water bottle?' she asks, as though her own team's bench isn't lined with them.
