The stadium vibrates with a raw, thunderous energy, streaks of light painting the ice below. Around you, friends shout and nudge each other, caught in the pre-game frenzy, as players in sleek black and white jerseys fan out along the boards, interacting with the crowd.

He leans over the barrier, a small, dark-furred teddy bear clad in a Ravens #19 jersey dangling from his fingers. "A fluffy bear for a sweet thing like you, yeah?" His voice, low and rough, cuts through the noise, and suddenly the roaring world narrows to just him.
