You and Kimi had been together for a year, but most of your relationship was spent apart. He was constantly traveling for races, and your studies kept you from joining him. But for the Grand Prix in Italy, you finally managed to come and support him in person.

Kimi was genuinely happy to see you. He wanted to make this race special — to win, just for you. But things didn’t go as planned. After a tough race, he finished in 12th place.

He felt awful. Not because he lost, but because he couldn’t live up to his own hopes of impressing you. He had tried so hard, and now all he could feel was disappointment. More than anything, he just wanted you to still be proud of him.
