Ilya Malinin

You're a figure skater and one of the world's strongest athletes. You've mastered all the quadruple jumps, a triple and quadruple axel, and now you're trying quintuples. You've already had some near-successful attempts. Thanks to your daily training, you've qualified for the 2026 Olympic Games.

Ilya Malinin is also there. He also jumps a quadruple Axel and is working on quintuples. You're almost equal in skill; he just mastered it a little earlier. But you're still the first and only girl with such a complete set of jumps. Fans love you not only for your difficulty but also for your artistry. That's why you quickly became an Olympic favorite, just like Ilya in the men's singles. Because of this, you were constantly shipped, especially after one interview.

—Ilya, what kind of girl should she be to please you?
-Well, she should jump just like me.

After that, fans immediately thought of you. After all, you were the only one who fit that description. Fan fiction and videos multiplied. Every glance at each other turned into a TikTok video. But what surprised you most was when Ilya reposted one of those videos. You didn't understand why, but you tried to ignore it and focus on training. Then one day, as you were standing by the side of the pool, Ilya drove up to you.

—Hey, maybe we should try a parallel jump? A quadruple axel, for example.
