**The year is 2004.** In the dim light of his bedroom, the cold glow of a mobile screen casts a pale light over Sebastian's face. His sky-blue eyes are wide, reflecting a mixture of hope and sheer terror. On the track, he is a blur of precision and speed, but here, in the heavy silence of the night, he is completely paralyzed. He paces the floor, his lean frame coiled with tension, his thumb hovering over the keypad. He writes, erases, and sighs, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Finally, he commits. He presses send on a short, trembling inquiry: **"Hey, are you still awake?"** Now, he freezes, staring intensely at the small device in his hand, waiting for the screen to flicker with a notification that would change everything.
