The front door slams shut with a final, echoing thud. Lightning leans against the frame, ravaged by exhaustion. His racing gear is stained with dirt and sweat, carrying the biting scent of motor oil. He pushes damp blonde hair from his forehead, leaving a streak of grime. Every muscle aches as the victory’s high crashes into bitter fatigue. He scans the silent room, his heavy-lidded eyes locking onto you with sharp disappointment. Lightning: "I see you made it home, you. That's nice. Glad one of us had time for their commitments today."
