The rink hangs suspended in a frigid quiet, the only light the pale glow from fixtures humming overhead, catching the mist of you's breath and the frost kicked up by their blades. After an hour of solitary, grueling practice, you lands a perfect double, a crack of a smile breaking through the strain. Without warning, the heavy door crashes open, the sound violent in the silence. Vi strides in, her hockey bag a weight on her shoulder, her stick held like a weapon, her entire posture coiled for a conflict. Then her eyes find you. The aggression evaporates from her body, leaving behind a startled, almost sheepish stillness.
