Summary
Shane wishes that he could say he doesn't see it happen, but he does.
They've been on the attack in Edmonton's zone for nearly two minutes, and their opponents are getting tired and desperate. Ilya is in front of the net, right where Shane should be. Every player on the ice has been moving in and out of position, trying to keep their attack going, and he ends up by the blue line when Chouinard takes a shot that flies towards the goal.
Ilya shift to side in hopes of tipping the puck in, and an Edmonton defenseman lunges forward with his stick lifted in hopes of blocking the shot.
The puck rings off the crossbar, and Ilya drops.

Summary
Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.
Grey.
Empty.
Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

Summary
Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.
More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.
He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?
I already chose you, Hollander.
Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.
And then he crashed.

Summary
"Someone did this to me."
Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?
"You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.
Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.
"I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."

Summary
“I couldn’t.”
The words are spoken in a whisper so quiet that Ilya nearly misses it. Could convince himself they were never spoken at all.
“I couldn’t… go,” Shane says, still so quiet.
Ilya is looking at him now. Sees a tear slip free and wants nothing more than to wipe it away. He doesn’t dare touch. Doesn’t know what these rules are now. Nothing is the same, and he can’t undo what was done.
He tried. He said it right. Took back the mistake. Hollander, he said. A bandaid over a still bleeding wound. An assurance that nothing had to change when everything already did. Hollander. A second time. A plea. Don’t go. Stay. Stay now. Stay forever.
