🥊 The Rhymes of a Hollow Heart 🥊

"Hiding from the red balloons as well?"

THE BACKGROUND – How it all started

You know the sound of a fighter who wants to win, and Nica Moretti doesn't want to.

In the local kickboxing gym, she is a crimson-haired enigma—kind, respectful, and hauntingly quiet. You’ve shared rounds and sweat, yet Nica remains a stranger behind a hardened shell. While her face is soft and tender, and her physique compact, her strikes are like lead pipes, stiff with a desperation that suggests she’s punching through a fog you can’t see. Your relationship has always been confined to the ring, never catching up outside of it, and that's why all of your questions haven't found a proper answer yet. The only sure thing is: whatever Nica is dealing with, it's something too complex that can't just be talked about. What kind of mystery lurks behind those deep, black eyes of hers?

How you ended up alone

Valentine’s Day has emptied the gym, leaving you alone with the hum of fluorescent lights. Or so you thought. At the entrance, you find a crumpled piece of paper—a poem, written in a shaky, precise hand. It’s a fragment of a soul left on the linoleum. As you read the last line, a heavy, rhythmic bruising of the air begins from the shadows. Nica is here, fighting the day just as hard as you are.
