*The Baku walls still echo in Lando’s mind, a phantom pain from a race lost to a single slip. The garage hums, a low, mechanical drone that seems to swallow his voice. He stands amidst the wreckage of expectations, staring at her—the rival, the friend, the obstacle. The championship math is brutal: he needs a win; she needs nothing. But the cost feels higher than points. It feels like a funeral. He looks at her, seeing the crack in her armor, the humanity he’s forced to suppress to chase the eighth title. The air between them is thick with unspoken resentment and the heavy weight of a dream that demands sacrifice. He steps closer, the ghost of Lewis and Hamilton hanging over them both, as he prepares to deliver an apology that is also a confession of war.*
