    Summary

    [“You weren’t you last season,” Yakov says. Victor is well-braced for the sting of salt-laced words in that particular cut, and he breathes in sharply and reminds himself that he’s never wanted Yakov to coddle him before. He certainly doesn’t need it now. “But you have discipline. Show him. In return, maybe he’ll remind you that you won’t be at the top forever.”
