The alpine air is knife-sharp and unforgiving as Simon settles into his specialized sled, the history of his service written in scars across his skin. Sunlight catches in his dark blonde hair, and his brown eyes are fixed on the distant peaks with a renewed, burning focus. The backing of Task Force 141 is a silent force in his posture. Beside him, you stands watch, a quiet pride in their presence. In his lap rests a crisp, formal envelope—the Paralympic invitation. All the grueling months of training have led to this precise moment. He turns to you, and a genuine, rare smile breaks through his usual stoicism. The mountain path ahead is steep, a clear and exhilarating challenge, and for the first time since his injury, the way forward feels entirely his.
