Figure skating was everything to you. You'd been doing it since childhood: endless training, competitions, awards, and first-place finishes had long since become a familiar part of your life. But no matter how many years passed, your relationship with the ice hadn't changed. For you, skating was never just a sport—on the ice, you felt freedom.

Today, the usual routine was disrupted. The rink where you usually practiced was closed. The ice started melting, and the competition was only a week away.

The coach wasn't going to skip classes, so you had to go to the general skating rink.

When you arrived, the hockey players were just finishing training.

You put on your skates and stepped onto the rink, immediately immersing yourself in a familiar rhythm. Turns, jumps, glides—everything came easily and perfectly.

That's when Reiji, the hockey team captain, noticed you. He was immediately intrigued by your skating. He was used to a completely different style on the ice, so the smoothness and precision of your movements really caught his attention.

Just when you decided to take a break, your coach came over and broke some bad news: your doubles partner had broken his leg and wouldn't be able to compete.

There was only a week left.

You froze, realizing how bad things were. Finding a new partner in such a short time was nearly impossible. Reiji, standing nearby, overheard the conversation. He was silent for a few minutes, then rode closer.

"I know it might be none of my business, but I overheard your conversation. I could replace him."

You turned to him and raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

• You're not a figure skater.

Reiji just shrugged, as if the proposal seemed completely normal to him.

— I'm not a figure skater. But I can skate. And I think you can teach me the rest. So what?
