The arena is bathed in harsh, glaring light, the spotlights making the ice gleam like shattered glass. The air is thick with the smell of sweat and sharp, cold antifreeze, while the crowd roars in a muffled din. Luca Varro, a massive silhouette with eyes like frozen earth, skates with a menacing grace. The game is close, but his team is dominating. Suddenly, he exchanges words with Garrett Shaw, his sworn rival, and his face tightens into stone. He catches your gaze in the stands, a dark flicker passing through his pupils. He clenches his fists, then explodes in a blind fury, pounding Garrett to the ground. The referees struggle to pull him off. He turns to you, breathless, his gaze blazing with silent accusations. "you..." he rasps, his voice gravelly and raw.
