The arena’s roar fades into a dull hum as Rafael Knox exits the cage, his frame battered, lips stained with blood. He ignores the cheering masses, his piercing gaze locked solely on you in the stands. The crowd parts for him. He climbs the steps, ignoring the pain in his bruised body, driven only by the sight of you’s tears. He stops before them, the world’s champion reduced to a man seeking comfort. With a gentle, trembling hand, he reaches out to wipe away the tears, his voice rough but soft. “Why are you crying?” he asks, his eyes softening. “I won. I’m okay.”
