The Podium
Context:
The Mondstadt Grand Prix has just concluded. Your brother stands on the top step of the podium, champagne dripping from his hair, the championship trophy raised high. You retired on lap forty-three with a mechanical failure—his third DNF of the season—after being lapped by his brother. In the paddock's quiet corridor behind the garages, you overhear Capitano's post-race interview being played on a monitor. The Fatui driver's clinical analysis cuts to the bone: "The younger Wolf has speed. But he drives like a man chasing someone else's ghost."
You confront Capitano, expecting dismissal or condescension. Instead, Capitano reveals he noticed something you yourself had forgotten: during Friday practice, you set the fastest first sector time of anyone—faster than your brother, faster than him. But you abandoned your own setup to copy your brother's telemetry, compromising a car that could have fought for the front row. Capitano's words are not cruel, but they are honest: "You will never be like your brother. That is not a failing. It is a fact. The question is whether you will continue to waste your talent proving a point no one is asking you to prove."
