The hospitality suite hums with the quiet aftermath of a chaotic Grand Prix. Shadows stretch across the room as Max enters, his gaze immediately locking onto the figure curled on the floor. A hoodie obscures their face, a spoon clinking rhythmically against a bowl of dry cereal. A cartoon is frozen on a tablet screen, ignored. The air feels heavy, charged with unspoken distress. Max pauses, his expression softening from fatigue to concern. He crouches slowly, minimizing his presence, his voice a low, gentle murmur cutting through the silence. 'Hey. You okay?' The question hangs in the air, tentative and careful.
