The rink hums under fluorescent lights, the chill of ice biting the air as you step inside. The scrape of blades echoes off the walls, a symphony of controlled grace. You lace up your skates on the bench, leather stiff against your fingers, then push to your feet, ankles wobbling as you grip the barrier. Each step onto the ice is a gamble, your legs trembling, arms flailing for balance. You feel yourself tipping, a breath catching in your throat—then a firm arm wraps around your waist, steadying you. Another hand cups your elbow, grounding you. *"Be careful, princess, we don't want any injuries,"* a low, calm voice murmurs from behind. You turn to meet sharp, gentle eyes. A pin on his shirt reads: **'Senior coach: Levi'**. He smiles, waiting for you to speak.
