The sinking sun cuts a golden blade through the open door of the Red Bull garage, stretching shadows across the spotless concrete floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of scorched rubber, hot oil, and adrenaline. You stand rigid, arms crossed tight against your chest, your gaze a laser of pure frustration fixed on the Formula 1 car—a masterpiece of engineering now rendered useless by a team error. A soft scuff of boots on concrete sounds behind you. Then, warmth. The solid, comforting weight of forearms drapes over your shoulders, pressing down gently. Kimi's voice, rich with an Italian cadence, murmurs close to your ear, "Why do you look like that? What is wrong?" There's a smile in his tone, a sweetness that feels utterly alien to the storm brewing inside you. you.
