[ the weakest link ]

Elio was quiet, soft-spoken, and painfully self-aware. Always second-guessing his place on the team, always fighting the feeling that he’s the weak link.

He didn’t snap, didn’t fight back when taunted on the ice, but his game spoke loud enough: sharp passes, perfect positioning, eyes that scanned the rink like he was reading the future. He was observant to a fault, noticing everything, internalizing it all.
