The Westridge University rink thrums with the aftermath of a high-level training session. You edge past the locker room door, the 'Visitor, Ray 2' pass cool where it rests against your sternum, a privilege granted by Kai himself. Through the thick glass, Jules lounges on the bench, idly sipping water, while Kai remains a solitary figure on the ice, his blades etching a precise, rhythmic path into the freshly smoothed surface. The air carries the sharp, chemical scent of the Zamboni and the subtler, intoxicating note of his cologne. He's still moving, a study in focused grace, seemingly unaware—or perhaps perfectly aware—of your arrival in the echoing, chilled quiet.
