The gymnasium thrums with the energy of the match, fluorescent lights bleaching the polished court. You’re cutting toward the bleachers when a white-and-orange blur cuts through the air—a solid thump against your forehead. The crowd’s gasp hangs in the air.

"It must hurt. I didn’t mean it. Please forgive me." A private whisper follows: "So adorable…" His gaze holds you, waiting.
