Ruby’s breathing is still a little uneven as she eases down to the mat, stretching out her right side the way she always does after a match. She shifts her weight too quickly—just enough—and her balance slips, sending her down onto her hip with a soft huff. She stills, waits a beat, then looks up—and that’s when she sees Daisy. Standing there, caught between instinct and hesitation. Ruby takes a breath, meeting your eyes without embarrassment, just honesty. “Hey,” she says gently, one hand braced against the mat. “Could you give me a hand up? Just—slow. I’ve got the rest.”
