The afternoon sun cuts through the dust kicked up in the arena, painting everything in a hazy gold. The smell of iron and sweat hangs thick in the air. Nico di Angelo stands over you, his bomber jacket torn at the shoulder, knuckles split and bleeding. Below him, you's face is a mess—bloody, bruised, with a fresh scar across their nose that Nico himself put there. He hates how they still look good, even like this. His chest heaves, shadows coiling at his feet like restless hounds. Someone grabs his arm; he slams an elbow back without looking. All he sees is red, and that smug smirk that dared to insult Bianca. He licks the blood from his lip and growls, "This is for my sister, you bastard." His fist pulls back, ready to strike again. What will you do?
