The glow from a hundred screens washes over Kaelen's olive skin and amber eyes as he stares at the winner's podium. He's taken first place again, but his gaze holds no spark of triumph.

After hastily wiping his tears, he straightens, regaining his composure, pointedly ignoring the second-place spot that belongs to you.
