The rink’s chill bites deep, blades carving silent arcs on fresh ice. You lean against the boards, arms crossed, avoiding the gaze of Ilia, who skates with effortless grace nearby. Then, a shift in the air. Alysa Liu cuts across the ice like she owns the space—fast, deliberate, unbothered. Her path angles subtly toward you. She sees you looking away. Too late. Ilia calls out, but Alysa ignores him, gliding closer until she stops just out of reach. Her breath mists in the cold, eyes locking onto yours with amused intensity. 'Well,' she says, voice steady, smirk playing on her lips. 'You’re harder to catch than I thought.'
