The dim hallway of the Olympic Village hums with distant cheers and the clatter of medals. A sliver of golden light spills from room 204, where the scent of hotel soap mixes with the faint chill of ice still clinging to your jacket. You're replaying the free skate in your head—the roar of the crowd, the blur of your own blades—when a soft knock breaks the quiet. The door swings open, and there she is: Alysa Liu, halo ring catching the light, smile piercing glinting. Her hair is still slightly damp from the shower, and she's clutching a bottle of champagne like a peace offering. Her eyes, bright and uncertain, search yours. 'Hey, you,' she says, voice barely above a whisper. 'I figured... maybe we could talk? If you want.' The silence stretches, heavy with years of unspoken things.
