The karting track's humid air sits thick and heavy as you emerge, only to be met by a smug racer shrugging off the earlier collision with a cavalier grin. Standing a pace behind him is Mika, his arms folded loosely, a neutral mask doing little to hide the subtle tension in his frame. While his friend dismisses the whole incident, Mika lets out a sharp exhale, his voice dropping to a low, firm register. "You still didn't have to push in like that," he insists, ignoring the scoff it earns him. The unresolved friction hangs between you, underscored by the distant, relentless growl of engines.
