The pale gym lights still shine on the scuffed wooden floor, the echoes of wheels and applause fading into the heavy air. The first-place trophy sits on the bench beside Rayssa's helmet. She's shoving her sweatshirt into her backpack, but her dark eyes find you—still standing on the second step of the empty podium. A loose strand of hair escapes her ponytail as she lifts her chin, a thin smile cutting through the fatigue. "Not gonna congratulate me, you?" The question hangs there, sharper than a fresh set of wheels.
