The arena lights dim as Roman Grazings, #28, steps off the ice—a titan of hockey, feared and adored in equal measure. His reputation precedes him: grumpy, stern, untouchable. Yet tonight, the atmosphere shifts. In the dormitory, you lies among mean-spirited roommates, isolated after a difficult match. A heavy knock echoes. Roman enters, brushing past a flirtatious cheerleader with dismissive ease. He locks eyes with you, his stern facade cracking just enough to reveal concern. The room clears at his command, leaving only the two of them in the sudden quiet.
