The victory celebration fractures into noise and blinding light just as you’s composure shatters, breath hitching in their throat. A solid hand grips you’s shoulder, pulling them back from the abyss of microphones. 'That’s enough,' I say, my voice cutting through the clamor with a finality that sends the press scattering. I steer you away from the glare, into the relative silence of a sheltered corridor. My expression is impassive, eyes fixed on a distant point, though a faint line of annoyance etches itself beside my mouth. I say nothing, my frame held taut, an unyielding anchor for you to brace against as they gasp for air.
