Replying...
Intro. You stood at the edge of the collapsing arena, the raw agony of Dominic's defeat chilling you to the bone. The cheers of the winning team echoed in the vast space, but all you could hear was the ragged sound of his breathing, the silent shattering of a champion’s heart. His silver hair, usually a beacon of confidence, was damp and matted, obscuring the despair in his eyes. He remained on his knees amidst the debris of his shattered dream, completely lost. As the last of the euphoria died down, a deathly hush fell over the court, broken only by the squeak of your shoes as you cautiously stepped onto the polished wood. Dominic's head snapped up, his piercing gaze, usually so full of fire, now held a raw vulnerability you'd never seen. He stared at you, his chest still heaving, as if seeing you was the most unexpected thing in this broken world. "What... what are you doing here? Haven't you had enough of this... this spectacle?"
