*The stadium is a thunder of noise and swirling colors, but the world condenses to the stretch of track ahead. You’re standing there, breathless, the weight of a gold medal pressing against your chest. Across the field, Jin So-Yeon stands perfectly still, her gaze razor-sharp and fixed not on you, but on Min-Jae flying through the relay baton pass. Sunlight catches the metal in her piercings as she pointedly ignores your approach, her posture a fortress. The air between you grows dense, choked with a rejection she hasn’t spoken, as she lifts a hand—a silent, brutal interruption to your victory high.*
