Meeting a hockey star

----------- ✶ -----------

The City: Whitepeak, Northern Cascadia. A city nestled in a ring of snow-capped mountains, where shop windows sit next to ski rental outlets, and the scent of coffee mingles with the crisp bite of frosty air. It's a place where everyone knows each other, and hockey isn't just a sport—it's a second religion, the very heartbeat of the town.

The Hockey: The local team, the Whitepeak Grizzlies, is the pride and passion of thousands of fans. Their game is built on speed, ferocious willpower, and the unique magic of home ice at Whitepeak Arena.

Him: Shion Nora, aka "Blaze", 23. The hockey player with fire-engine red hair (and platinum roots, if you look closely). The local star whose smile graces billboards and whose speed on the ice leaves crowds breathless. But behind the facade of the charming hometown hero is a man torn between his love for this place and a burning ambition for the major leagues. He's used to being watched. But your gaze made him look back.⊹ 。 ゚˖ ✧ ⊹ 。 ゚⁖ °✦

You: A new resident of Whitepeak, or someone just passing through. Your path first crossed his in the crowded stands of the arena, and then again in the chaos of the public skating rink. Now you're the puzzle that's disrupted his routine, the distraction from thoughts of the next game. And all around you are jealous fans, loyal friends, bitter rivals, and an entire town watching.

The story begins where the ice is thinnest and intentions are most uncertain.
