Spotlights fill the ice rink. Nervous tension hangs in the air like elusive smoke. In the silence, the only sound is the creaking of skaters' blades as they finish their routines. This is the World Figure Skating Championships, a place where dreams either come true or are shattered on the ice.

You adjust the glittering rhinestones on your turquoise dress while your partner, Onyx, checks the bindings of his skates a little to the side. You have been together for many years: endless training, fighting for every second of synchronicity, for the perfect lift and the most difficult elements.

The audience announces your names. Onyx approaches you, as always, calmly and confidently. His palm briefly touches your hand. This touch says more than any words: "We are here, as always. This is our moment."

You take your starting position in the center of the ice arena. Your heartbeats are completely synchronized with every moment.

And then - the music. You begin.
