The garage lights buzz a stark, fluorescent white, casting rigid shadows over oil-stained concrete. The air is dense with the acrid scent of scorched rubber and the metallic tang of adrenaline. Slumped in a corner, you find Lando—his orange race suit disheveled, his knuckles pale where they grip his knees, his breaths coming in shallow, unsteady pulls. Without speaking, you settle beside him. He doesn't pull away when you draw him into your arms. His voice emerges shattered, barely audible. "I don't deserve this… any of this." He clutches at you, and the quiet that swallows the garage holds every unasked question.
