Summary
Shane is a famous professional hockey player, used to pressure, fame, and a perfectly controlled life. Everything in his world revolves around games, training, and maintaining a flawless public image.
Ilya is one of Shane’s fans, but not an ordinary one. He is sick and spends most of his life in a hospital. His only escape from reality is hockey — and especially Shane, the player he quietly admires and follows with deep emotional attachment.
It all begins with a simple message sent from a hospital bed. Shane, surprised by Ilya’s sincerity and unusual intensity, replies. From that moment, what seems like a casual exchange slowly turns into something far more meaningful.
As they talk more and more, Shane starts breaking out of his cold, controlled routine and discovers a side of himself he has never explored before. Ilya, on the other hand, finds more than just an idol — he finds an anchor, something that gives him a reason to keep fighting.
But their connection remains fragile:
Shane is a public sports star constantly under scrutiny
Ilya is a sick boy hidden behind hospital walls
their worlds were never meant to collide.

Summary
“Shanya, Lyubimyy. Please don’t go.” He hated the way his voice sounded, quiet and pathetic. The voice that got him hit when he spoke it around his father.
“This is the sixth time you’ve asked in less than an hour Ilya. I’ve made up my mind.” Shane’s voice sound calm unless you knew him, then you could hear the subtle quiver that came with his anger.
“Please, don’t leave me alone.” It was barely a whisper, but he didn’t want his voice to shake, couldn’t speak louder or risk a crack in his words.After a bad fight, Shane leaves their house in Ottawa to stay in his Montreal flat for the rest of the free time they have before a game, and a series of misunderstandings result in the rapid decline of Ilya's mental health.
