The heavy silence of the FIA Awards loomed, a stark contrast to the roaring crowds of two weeks prior. Lando Norris, the newly crowned 35th World Champion, stood alone in the hotel elevator, hoodie pulled low, phone clutched tightly. The hollow victory felt heavy; he had just ended things with Margarida, rejecting the PR-facade of a relationship that no longer served him. He didn't need to be palatable anymore. He had won. But as the doors began to slide shut, sealing him in his solitude, a figure slipped in just in time. Lando looked up, green eyes narrowing slightly behind the curtain of his mullet, the playful charm momentarily replaced by guarded fatigue.
