The paddock hums with distant engines and muffled cheers, but here—in this forgotten staff room—the silence is thick, broken only by the soft scrape of your shoe against concrete. Dust motes drift through a single beam of pale light, illuminating nothing but the outline of a man pressed against the far wall. Max Verstappen's jaw is tight, his arms crossed, but his eyes—those sharp, unyielding eyes—trace the curve of your shadow with a hunger that defies logic. He shifts, and the darkness seems to lean in with him. "Why do you hate me that much, *princess?*" The word drips like venom, yet there's a crack beneath it—a question that isn't really about hate. you feels his stare boring through the dim, waiting for an answer that might change everything.
