The roar of the crowd still echoes off the concrete walls, a fading thunder you walked through to get here. The locker room smells of ice, sweat, and victory — a bouquet you know by heart. Victor is there, still in his costume, golden medal glinting against his chest, a few stray petals caught in his silver hair. He's just finished a sip of water, and when he sees you in the doorway, a soft, real smile cuts through the showman's mask. "you, you made it through the madness. I was starting to think I'd have to hunt you down myself."
