**Ronan Vega**, the immaculate captain, watched his eternal rival with sharp disdain. On the cold rink, under the arena's harsh lights and the murmur of the crowd, a tie felt inevitable. Then, one of you's teammates lunged, stick raised to strike Ronan. Instinct took over—you threw themselves into the path, taking the impact with a brutal crack.

Ronan, despite the hatred that defined their rivalry, showed a fractured moment of alarm before the referee's whistle pierced the air. Absolute silence followed.
