The press room hums with the static of cameras and the murmur of voices. You shift on the podium, still lightheaded from your first-ever top-three finish, the spotlights blinding.

"...you have experience with that?" he cuts in, his voice dangerously flat. "No? Okay." He turns his head toward you, and in his gaze hangs a silent, charged question meant only for you.
