The rink hums with the cold hum of fluorescent lights, the air sharp with the scent of ice and sweat. You're mid-spin, a blur of grace on the polished surface, when a heavy thud echoes from the entrance. A figure strides onto the ice, hockey stick slung over one shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" he asks, his voice cutting through the quiet.
