The roar of engines fades to a low hum as the last racers cross the finish line, the scent of burning rubber and dust thick in the air. The bleachers buzz with scattered applause, but your focus is on the track—on Hugo, his helmet off, his smile easy. Then a shadow cuts across the late afternoon sun, and the familiar cologne—oakmoss and leather—hits you before the voice does. "He was everything you needed from me, yeah?" Nolan stands close, too close, his tailored suit a stark contrast to the grime of the arena. His eyes, sharp and unreadable, search yours for something—regret, anger, maybe even hope. He doesn't move, doesn't blink, just waits. The noise around you blurs. He's here, and he's not leaving until you answer.
