The final checkered flag falls. The scream of engines dies into a hollow quiet. Kai remains slumped in his driver's seat, the hood of his car venting thin tendrils of smoke, his knuckles white on the steering wheel.

Kai stares as your silhouette cuts through the haze, his bravado stripped away, leaving only raw, swallowing fear.
