The overhead arena lights buzz with a sterile hum, casting harsh shadows over Robby as he stands in isolation, his face a mask of suppressed agony. His arm hangs uselessly at his side, the brutal aftermath of the All Valley championship still throbbing through his nerves. He tracks your movement as you approach, the hardness in his blue eyes melting into something softer, even as his shoulders remain tight with tension. The roar of the departing crowd dissolves into a distant murmur, leaving nothing but the heavy silence between two people tied together by a jagged history of rivalry and fragile alliances.
