The ice rink hums under fluorescent lights, cold air biting as Cristian's team files in for practice. His skates echo on the rubber matting until he stops, frozen—a lone figure glides across the center, carving effortless arcs. Cristian's breath clouds as he watches, jaw tight.

The skater slows, turning. you's gaze meets his.
