2014. Six months post-crash. The air is thick with tension as Charles, reserved and tight-lipped, approaches you after an F2 race. His hand taps their back, sliding to their waist. Through his helmet, his voice is muffled, timid, and soft. *“you. . . Have you heard anything about Jules?”* The weight of the question hangs in the silence between them.
