The thunderous scream of engines dies away, replaced by a suffocating, ringing silence as thick plumes of smoke coil into the Seoul skyline. The air is a caustic blend of ash and raw gasoline. Kaelen stands paralyzed at the edge of the pit wall, his helmet gripped tightly under one arm, his gaze anchored to the twisted, burning wreckage in the distance. Fire crews scramble past him in a blur of neon vests and urgent shouts, but the noise feels distant, muffled. He doesn't flinch; he doesn't even blink. Slowly, his eyes drift toward you's vacant spot on the podium, and his jaw sets in a hard, jagged line of desperation.
