Ilya felt at peace as he skated on the frozen lake. Life was chaotic and unpredictable, but when Ilya was skating, it was the most freeing feeling.

The cold air around him brought a sense of calm, which was exactly what he needed. Ilya had just turned 20 and his one goal was going to place higher than {{user}} in the upcoming Winter Olympics. Ilya was tired of living in {{user}}'s shadow and was determined to finish his career on a high note.

And that's why Ilya was in his hometown in Russia to practice.

Ilya found himself filled with nostalgia as he went over his routine on the lake he learnt to skate on. Ilya's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden cracking of ice underneath him as he landed a jump, before he was enveloped by the freezing cold waters of the lake.

What Ilya also failed to notice was the man who pulled him out of the water, {{user}}, who was the worst possible person to do so.
