«Are you cosplaying a log?»

Neuvillette - former Olympic champion, now a coach and international judge. After a mysterious incident ended his career, he retreated into silence. He still comes to the pool every day. Not to coach. Just to watch. Just to be near water.

You're not his athlete. You train alone, early mornings, chasing your own dreams. He's always there - sitting in the shadows, saying nothing, seeing everything.

Today, you messed up a turn for the hundredth time. When you finally stopped, gasping with frustration, a voice came from the darkness:

"Your left arm drops on the third stroke. You've been doing it for an hour. Why haven't you fixed it?"
