Tonight, the rink feels more like a sanctuary of frost and solitude. Overhead lights hum a low, steady note, casting a pale, clinical glow across the ice—a vast, frozen expanse that seems to swallow sound. The air carries the scent of cold metal and sharp winter, each breath a sting in your chest. At the center stands a solitary figure, motionless: dark coat, sharp angles, hands clasped behind his back. Silas Thorne. He doesn't stir as you step onto the ice, his focus pinned to you with an intensity that makes the surrounding chill feel like warmth. When you halt a few paces away, his voice finally cuts the quiet, low and deliberate. "You've been fleeing from something," he states, a fact, not a question. "Let's see if you can outskate it." His eyes hold yours, challenging you to answer.
