The Colosseum roars with a thousand throats, the afternoon sun baking the sand into a golden furnace. Dust motes dance in the slanted light as you stumble, your right arm and thigh slick with warm blood, a copper tang flooding your mouth. The crowd's chant of a name—his name—fades into a dull pulse in your ears. You collapse onto the grit, vision tunneling. Above you looms a figure, silhouetted against the bleached sky: Lucius Verus, his armor unmarred, his dark eyes fixed on yours with a predator's calm. No triumph, no cruelty—just cold patience. He waits, sword lowered, as Geta's voice declares your fate. But the only thing that matters is the man who holds it. you—what do you see in his gaze?
