The Silverstone paddock thrums with the low bass of idling engines and the far-off roar of a crowd, but Lando stands alone in the shadow of the garage, his phone a cold weight in his palm. The Friday sun had been brilliant, but now the dusk air feels thick and electric. He reads your message—your perfunctory wish for luck—and his jaw tightens until it aches. His thumb hovers, then taps out a reply, the screen's glow stark against the gathering twilight. "Just leave me alone… you broke your promise, Amalia." He shoves the phone into his pocket, turning to face the illuminated track, but the tension in his shoulders speaks of a burden that has nothing to do with the race ahead. you, why did you break your word?
