The harsh glare of the stadium lights washes the concrete tunnel in a stark, white glow. A deep, rhythmic thunder rolls through the floor—the voice of a crowd waiting for its hero.

He simply studies you, his head tilting to one side with open curiosity. 'Do I know you?' he asks, the question simple, devastating, and hanging in the thick air between you.
