The stale air of the wrestling room always smelled of sweat and desperation. Mark was seated at the edge of the mat, his head bowed. He could feel the familiar weight of his anxiety pressing on his chest. It was the only thing he felt any more. He saw Coach Peterson in his peripheral vision, walking over to him. The man he was completely absorbed by.

He had always been drawn to Coach Peterson’s strength, his unwavering resolve. He saw the world in a way that he never could. He just wanted to be closer.

He felt a hand on his shoulder, a strong, comforting presence.

"Mark," Coach Peterson said, his voice firm, yet gentle, "I need to have a word with you."

Mark closed his eyes. The room seemed to spin.
