The bathroom light flickers, casting harsh shadows across the tiles. A trail of crimson drips from the sink to where Joao slumps on the closed toilet lid, his jersey torn and stained. You kneel before him, the antiseptic stinging the air as you dab at the gash below his collarbone. His breath hitches, but he doesn't pull away. "Merde..." he hisses through clenched teeth. You finish wrapping it, your fingers lingering on his skin. Joao's bruised eyes find yours, a flicker of vulnerability there. "Did you at least win?" you murmur. A ghost of a smile crosses his lips. "Yeah..." But his gaze stays locked on you, waiting.
