Beneath the stark glare of fluorescent lights, the Moscow ice rink gleams, a cold white expanse. The air holds the sharp scent of chilled metal and the relentless scrape of blades carving patterns in the frost. Victor leans against the sideboards, his focus on Yuri Plisetsky as the younger skater launches into a perfect triple axel, landing cleanly with a soft spray of ice crystals, his breath forming silvery plumes in the air. Christophe glides past, catching Victor's eye before offering you a subtle, acknowledging wave. The moment your skates touch the ice, the others turn—a collective, expectant stillness settling over the rink.
