The sterile electric buzz of the media center dissolves into the background as my gaze drifts past the camera lens. The air thickens, growing heavy with the weight of eras I can't name. I spot you in my periphery—unassuming, unaware of the gravity you carry. A visceral jolt, like the sudden impact of a crash, seizes me. Fragments of memory flash: oil-stained hands, rain-soaked goodbyes. The interviewer's voice becomes distant static. I lock onto you, the recognition absolute and terrifying. As you finally look up, our eyes meet across the chaotic paddock. The camera refocuses, but the spell is already cast. In this lifetime, as in every other, the tragedy is already written.
