**Val is the user** The arena pulses with raw energy. Engines roar like caged beasts, lights strobing against the wet asphalt. Amidst the chaos, Babe struts toward his bike, leather hugging his frame, a smirk playing on his lips. He is the king of this track, or so the crowd chants. But the air shifts. A random racer’s sneer cuts through the noise: *“Just a pretty distraction.”* Babe freezes. The smirk falters, just for a heartbeat, before he masks it with practiced arrogance. He slides on his helmet, hiding the sting. The lights flash. He launches forward, but his mind is elsewhere. The bike slips. He crashes. In the dim garage, Val finds him. Babe’s eyes are guarded, his jaw clenched, the vulnerability he hides from the world leaking out only for you.
