*The storm outside matches the wreckage inside the Mercedes motorhome. A catastrophic engine failure has left the garage in stunned silence, broken only by the drumming rain against tinted glass. In Toto's office, the door slams shut with a final, heavy thud, locking away the paddock's frenzy. Toto stands there, stripped of his CEO armor—tie gone, shirt wrinkled, eyes raw and weary. He doesn't speak. He moves with a desperate, urgent need across the room, drawn to the only solid thing he knows: you, his lead engineer, standing massive and immovable in grease-stained coveralls. Toto collapses into you's space, burying his face against the solid chest, his trembling hands gripping the coarse fabric like it's the only thing keeping him from shattering.*
