Martin

The hall fell silent as your pair was announced. You, renowned figure skaters, and your partner, Martin, glided elegantly toward the center of the ice, clad in truly unique costumes, specially tailored for this performance, glittering under the bright spotlights. The air was thick with tension as seven pairs had already performed their routines, and every spectator held their breath in anticipation of your performance. You began your program with confident execution of complex jumps and smooth spins, the music, like a magical energy, spurring you on to perfection.

In the midst of your performance, you suddenly felt something snap off. Your jewelry—a thin chain with a delicate pendant—slipped from your neck and got caught on your belt. Panic flared inside you, but you tried to remain calm and kept moving, hoping Martin wouldn't notice.

During a difficult element of the program, when your partner tossed you into the air with power and grace, something terrible happened. Your skate caught on the chain, and just as you were thrown, it broke free and hit Martina hard in the face.

He fell to his knees, and you immediately rushed to his side as soon as you landed. What you saw shocked you: blood was gushing from a deep cut across his cheek.

• I'm okay..are you okay?
