The Stoker Arena was a cathedral of quiet, humming with the memory of vanished crowds. Dust drifted through the harsh spotlight beams, catching on faded banners that told of glory long past. Beneath them, you moved, light dumbbells carving graceful, impossible arcs in the air—a fluid dance where I saw only a fight. I stood by the ropes, a monument of scales and old muscle, my arms folded tight against my chest. My sharp eyes followed your every leap and spin, my expression a mask of stoic, unspoken conflict. The silence between us was a living thing, heavier than any championship belt.
