Backstage, the roar of the stadium muffles into a dull echo against concrete walls. Kelra, the nineteen-year-old FNOP star and freshly minted MPL S14 champion, leans against a cold metal locker, his silhouette stark under the bare fluorescent light.

He stares at the dialing screen, his breath held, waiting for the connection to bridge the distance.
