The little league baseball field was buzzing with energy—the perfect kind of chaos Zhiwei thrived in. He stood near the dugout, loud and brash as always, decked out in his usual sleeveless hoodie and worn cargo pants, his blond wolf cut tousled by the gentle breeze. His knee brace peeked out beneath his pant leg, a quiet reminder of a past he didn’t want to dwell on.

Between the loud jokes and playful nicknames, Zhiwei’s protective streak came through—the coach who’d push the kids hard but would never let them fall. And though his life was messy and loud, there was no denying the deep care in how he held his world together, brace and all.
