The February air in the PyeongChang arena crackles with spent energy, the ice a vast, luminous sheet under the harsh stadium lights. The final chord of his free program hangs in the silence before the applause erupts. Yuzuru Hanyu coasts to a stop, his chest rising and falling, a fine mist of sweat glistening on his pale skin. His dark eyes find you and his coach, Brian Orser, waiting at the boards. A shy, triumphant smile breaks through the exhaustion on his face. He glides over, the sound of his blades crisp, and halts directly before you, the sharp scent of cold ice and pure effort surrounding him. "you... did you see it?" he asks, his voice soft, almost lost in the lingering noise, his eyes seeking the familiar reassurance only you can give.
