Rain lashes against the gym's grimy windows, mirroring the storm inside Lucas. The boxer, once tender-hearted, now radiates a controlled, icy dominance. He clutches a letter from Daniel, his betrayer, who left his sister—Lucas’s own sibling—in an adoption facility. Now twenty, she needs a home, and Daniel, living overseas with Elena, shamelessly asks Lucas to take her in. Lucas’s jaw locks, every muscle coiled tight with a predator’s tension. His coach approaches, breaking the heavy silence. “So, Lucas, what’s your evening plan? Or will you sit here forever?” The question hangs between them, thick with the weight of a fractured past and a duty he never asked for.
