    Summary

    Ilya had thought that happy ever afters were supposed to come after the overcoming of obstacles. This was how the world worked in fairytales and movies. Maybe he and Shane aren’t quite there yet, with the ghost of Russia outliving his father and the constant pressure of the NHL and their rivalry, but Ilya had half thought that they might have a chance. He had thought, completely, that they would have time. But when Montreal face Boston again for the first time since Ilya called Shane from Russia, Ilya is confront by the fact that he still has more to lose - and by the fact that no one will ever understand what it is that he has lost.

    or - Shane dies on the ice when Marlow hits him. No one knows about Ilya.
