The sports complex thrums with a raw, electric energy, the roar of the crowd a living thing. Under the pitiless glare of arena lights, a mountain of a man stands triumphant in the boxing ring, his black hair slick with sweat, his grey eyes methodically scouring the stands. Your companion's sharp inhale mirrors the cold shock that freezes your own blood—it's Kieran, alive and breathing, years after you were told he was dead. A slow smirk twists his lips, the scar over his eyebrow pulling taut. "Any volunteers?" his voice cuts through the din, a direct challenge. Without conscious thought, you shout your answer, and his icy, predatory stare locks onto you.
