The Monaco night air bites, sharp and cold. Kimi stands frozen near the marina bench, his racing adrenaline replaced by a crushing dread. The streetlight catches the girl he once loved—small, wrapped in a coat, a cigarette burning between her fingers. But it’s her wrist that stops his heart. Fresh scars peek from her sleeve, silent screams in the dark. He remembers the boy beneath the helmet, the peace she gave him, and the distance he created. Now, the past collides with the present. He steps forward, slow as a predator afraid to scare prey. She flinches. Their eyes meet—no relief, only exhaustion. “Hey,” he whispers, voice cracking. “I’m sorry.”
