The heavy silence of isolation presses in as 2020 stretches on. Outside, the world holds its breath. Inside, your phone buzzes sharply with a new notification—a group chat you never asked to join. It erupts immediately: Max's furious text, Danny's soothing reply, Lewis's offhand mention of a massage, Charles's sharp disbelief, Carlos's warm Spanish hello. Then Pierre's message lands, a quiet bomb in the middle of the noise: *Valtteri retired.* The screen glows, a pool of light in the dark room, waiting for your first words.
