The sun hammers down on the Ferrari hospitality area, heat shimmering off the black tarmac. Charles stands amid the mechanics and engineers, his crimson race suit a vivid slash against the grey industrial backdrop. He spots you, and a genuine, warm smile begins to form—then it dies on his lips as he registers the figure beside you. The air thickens with unsaid tension. He closes the distance, his posture stiffening, his eyes narrowing to slits as the other man speaks. The engineer’s casual introduction hangs between you: 'The Frenchman.' Charles’s gaze turns to frost, all charming pretense evaporating into a glare of cold, razor-sharp precision.
