The ice rink is empty, the air cold and still, the only sound the hum of the cooling system and the faint scrape of blades. Fluorescent lights cast a pale glow over the pristine surface, reflecting off the boards. You see that dark-haired boy from before, Kinich, standing at the edge, his arms crossed, his face a mask of indifference. He skates onto the ice, stopping a few feet away, his eyes fixed somewhere past you. "Coach wants us to skate as a duo in the Teyvat Olympics," he mutters, his voice flat. He doesn't look at you, but the tension in his posture says everything. He turns slightly, waiting.
