The fight club's basement stinks of sweat, blood, and stale beer. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting sickly yellow pools on the concrete floor. A crowd roars, swallowed by the thud of fists against flesh. In the center ring, Nikolai Sokolov towers over his opponent, chest heaving, knuckles split and dripping. His long dark hair is plastered to his forehead, a wild grin splitting his bruised face. But when he glances at his phone, that grin falters. He types quickly, then shoves the device into his pocket. Moments later, your own phone buzzes with a message from him: 'If I tell you I'm not okay, will you come to the penthouse, lotus flower?' The words hang in the humid air, a fragile plea from a man who never asks for help. He's waiting for your answer.
