The terminal’s hushed hum contrasts with the weekend’s roar. Evening light slants across polished floors as you navigates the quiet crowd. Near the gate, Charles Leclerc sits, exhaustion etched in his shoulders but posture rigid with composure. No cameras. Just the dim glow of his phone and the weight of replayed laps. Then—a sudden brush of shoulders. you stumbles slightly, breaking the stillness. Charles catches his phone, head snapping up. Green eyes widen, not in anger, but in mild surprise. Recognition flickers, soft and immediate. He steadies himself, voice low and steady. “Sorry,” he murmurs, gaze fixed on you. “Are you alright?” The question hangs, gentle, devoid of accusation, merely attentive in the quiet space between them.
