The words arrived like a tide at dusk — soft, unguarded, impossible to hold back. “I thought I had more time — and then the dock went quiet forever.” There was no orchestration to them, no careful framing.

The arena had already given its medals, its anthems, its measured applause. Gold, silver, bronze — they had found their rightful places beneath the lights.

The arena felt smaller than it had all week, as if the walls themselves had leaned inward to witness what was about to unfold. Light pooled on the ice in a pale, waiting hush.
