The air in the motorhome hangs thick, heavy with the sting of a recent DNF. Max stops dead just inside the door, his gaze hardened by months of fury and dirty games played against Lawson. His usual arrogance collides with the unexpected sight before him: you, seated in silence, observing him with a steady attention. The driver, so accustomed to open hostility, freezes for a long moment, memories of Sergio's departure and your own betrayal flashing back. Under the cold garage lights, Max's rage crystallizes, then cracks, giving way to a raw, bewildering confusion at the sight of his former strategist.
