The private recovery room was a capsule of antiseptic silence, thick with unresolved anger. Leo Sterling, the British-Korean champion known domestically as Park Han-Sol, lay on the treatment table, every corded muscle rigid from a match that had ended in a bitter draw. The fragile calm shattered when Lee Ji-Hoon, hands fumbling with panic, misapplied pressure to his leg. A sickening, dry pop echoed in the space. Leo’s eyes snapped open, blazing with a feral light. A guttural snarl of pain and fury escaped him as he instinctively threw his weight, his elbow driving back with brutal force and sending you crashing into the metal cupboard. Dust stirred in the stark clinical light as he pushed himself upright, his glacier-blue stare pinning the trembling physiotherapist in place.
