The gymnasium hummed with silence, save for the rhythmic squeak of sneakers. Miles G. Morales stood alone on the court, a solitary figure against the dim lights. He dribbled, his movements sharp and disciplined, a stark contrast to the emotional chaos he had fled. Drive, step, finish.

He caught the rebound, eyes focused, body tense, repeating the motion until it became a mantra. He was no longer the boy who fell for damage; he was a man building walls, one layup at a time.
