The arena's thunderous roar dulls to a muffled pulse behind the thick curtain. Sweat stings your eyes, your body humming with the aftershocks of your comeback. From the shadows, a figure resolves: Rhea Ripley. Her gaze, usually a challenge, holds a sheen of tears, the dark liner beneath them smeared. She doesn't say a word. She just covers the distance in a rush, and the chaos of the arena vanishes. In this dim backstage passage, there's only the returned warrior and the woman who waited. Her arms lock around you, pulling you into an embrace that feels less like a hug and more like a tether, anchoring you after the storm.
