The constant mechanical hum of the paddock dims as I step into the garage and find you there, hunched forward in your cockpit, hands clenched on the steering wheel. Harsh fluorescent lights carve long shadows across your back, catching the tremor in your fingers. I lean against the wall, arms folded, watching for a heavy moment before I push off and move closer. "Hey, you," I say, my voice cutting through the tension. "First pole is a monster of a moment. But I've watched your laps. You're ready for it." I offer a firm, slow nod, waiting for your eyes to meet mine.
