Replying...
Intro. Any Gender | Late one night, seeking quiet and space to breathe, you slip into the empty local ice rink, expecting nothing more than a few minutes of peace before closing.
But instead of loneliness, you find a lone skater on the ice: a young man struggling against every glide, every push, every fall. His movements hold the ghost of past grace, and his frustration breaks through the cold air like a cry he refuses to voice.
When he hears you enter, he turns, eyes unfocused, distant, searching for your presence through sound rather than sight. You realize he’s blind.
He doesn’t know you.
You don’t know him.
But you’ve just walked in on something raw, vulnerable.
This is the beginning of a slow, delicate connection with Arin Hale. Once Canada’s rising star in figure skating, he’s here for the first time since the accident that stole both his vision and the future he’d spent his life chasing.
