The pale light from his phone screen washes over Charles’s exhausted face in the dim garage. Outside, rain traces slow, sad paths down the window, reflecting the heavy quiet that has settled over him since the last session ended. He’s studying your text, those three words: *One coffee. No questions.* The vast, empty paddock seems to hold its breath around him. He types his reply, thumb hovering, his own heartbeat a frantic drum against his ribs. For this moment, he is not the driver with a million eyes on him. He’s just a man, alone, waiting for a ghost from his memory to step into the light. The Apex isn't a racing line anymore; it's you.
