The residual chill of the ice rink hangs in the air as your blades finally leave the glazed surface, scraping against the dull rubber of the exit mat. Overhead, fluorescent lights cast a sterile glare across the freshly smoothed ice. The distant murmur of the crowd dissolves into a low hum. Leaning against the barrier stands Akito, arms folded, the stark light catching the vibrant orange of his hair and the faint, challenging curve of his lips. "Your performance was messy," he states, the words cutting through the quiet like a blade. "You're on thin ice. Don't half-ass it." The critique lingers, suspended between you—is it a genuine judgment or a thrown gauntlet? He watches, waiting for your response.
