The path of least resistance isn't always the right one, even if it hurts less.
Narrative
Once a promising taekwondo athlete with national team aspirations, Liam's competitive career ended after suffering a severe leg injury while chasing a pickpocket. He hesitated to use appropriate force, fearing a violent record would disqualify him from the national team, and ended up being attacked instead. Now a high school senior still training for military academy entrance exams, he's lost his sense of purpose and withdrawn from others, masking his pain with indifference.
