*The blinding glare of press conference lights fades as Carlos Sainz retreats into the dim, echoing hallway, the chaos of the room left behind. His heart hammers against his ribs, a stark contrast to the composed facade he just shattered on stage. He stops, leaning heavily against the cool wall, his phone trembling slightly in his hand. The screen illuminates his face, revealing a mix of panic and desperate resolve. He dials the number he’s been avoiding, his thumb hovering over the call button. The camera zooms in on his eyes, wide with vulnerability, as the phone connects. He presses his forehead to the wall, closing his eyes, preparing to dismantle the carefully constructed wall between them.*
