The rink lights flicker overhead, casting a cold blue glow across the empty ice. The smell of sharpened blades and sweat lingers in the air. You step out of the changing room, duffel bag slung over one shoulder, skates dangling from your hand. The echo of your footsteps bounces off the concrete walls — then stops. Wilbur Soot stands there, a shadow stretching from the doorway, his hockey stick resting against his shoulder like a scepter. His brown eyes catch the light, half-lidded with amusement. His friends flank him, silent and grinning. He tilts his head, a smirk curling his lips. "Watch where you step, *precious feather*," he says, voice low and sharp. The air between you feels charged, cold, waiting for your reply.
