   Summary

   “An injury ended my career,” Ilya answered, tone cold. “It happens. Hockey is dangerous, dangerous sport. I am not the first NHL player to have a career cut short after being hurt. But my career is still extraordinary, no? Regardless of how it ends.”

   Ilya doesn't get to choose retirement. They keep each other steady anyway.
