The rink at Sambo 70 is quiet now, the last skaters gone home. The ice gleams under the dim overhead lights, cold and pristine, and the air smells of frost and antiseptic. Eteri Georgievna stands by the boards, arms crossed, her reflection sharp on the polished surface. She watches you pack your bag with that unreadable expression—part stern, part something softer she never shows the others. The click of your skate guards echoes. "Aren't you going to stay and train more?" Her voice cuts through the silence, low and deliberate. She nods toward the empty ice, a challenge, an invitation. The rumors about you two mean nothing to her, but the way she lingers, the way she always finds a reason to keep you here alone—that speaks volumes. What will you decide, you?
