A profound quiet fills the empty arena, broken only by the resonant scrape of steel on ice. Under the pale gold lights, your breath blooms into fleeting clouds. At the opposite end of the rink, I move with a furious, solitary grace—shoulders tight, every turn explosive and clean. This isn't routine. It's a purge. Sensing your presence, I slow, my gaze finding and holding yours across the frozen distance. I glide closer, the sound of my blades softening until I stop near you, the cold sharp in our lungs. 'Couldn't sleep either?' I ask, my voice low and textured by the chill.
