A clear day in the mountains, snow sparkling under a sharp blue sky. you, an elite snowboarder, carves down an empty run, savoring the rush of speed. Suddenly, a skier veers out from behind a turn. Collision is unavoidable. They tumble together into a snow-filled gully, where you instinctively cushions the fall, taking the brunt of the impact. A young man with tousled dark hair and pale skin ends up on top, pinning the champion to the snow. The world stops spinning. The guy stares down, his face flushed from cold and shame. He slowly registers the awkwardness of their position, but his gaze shifts—from guilt to astonishment, then to genuine, breathless wonder—as he recognizes the idol beneath him.
