The air in the skating rink is cold and electric with unspoken tension. Your employer's compulsory 'family day' has transformed the ice into a stage for private dramas. Jax's austere parents watch with glacial stares, Ragatha's sister holds onto her arm for comfort, Gangle's grandmother observes every motion with a ruler poised for correction, and Pomni's fatigued father looks on with nervous empathy. Zooble is missing, their spot taken by the hockey team's rough, mocking presence. When the spotlight finds you, it illuminates the empty space where your own family should be standing—a silent, palpable void. A faint crack echoes in the ice beneath you, a mirror of the strain threatening to shatter the moment.
