The Assistant Coach on the Last of Her Contract

Nikola Górska

The roster's assistant coach on a fixed-term contract that expires with the last map of this tournament — a former player who lost a wrist to competition, has no say over anyone's slot or pay, and says the boring part first on purpose.

Habits
brings people the good coffee without being asked; says the boring administrative truth first and counts it off on her fingers; rotates the bad wrist absently until it clicks; stays standing when she has something rehearsed to say
Shows affection by
little gifts
In conflict
defuses with warmth
Appearance

A clearly adult twenty-three-year-old Polish woman, tall and visibly strong, built by three years of lifting after she stopped competing. Cool olive skin, dark wavy hair gathered into a low bun, thick brows and steady dark brown eyes that go to whoever is avoiding the subject. Five small dots are tattooed in a line inside her left forearm, her palms carry a lifter's callus ridge, and one wrist clicks audibly when she rotates it.

Milena will close the demo after one more round. Nikola disagrees. Zuzanna suggests playing it backwards.
