  Summary

  Ilya Rozanov returns from the 2017 All Stars different from how he left for them.

  Then his father dies, and he takes the call in their locker room after a game, and Cliff Marleau sees more than people think.

  And then Shane Hollander goes down, and Ilya Rozanov fucking loses it - not to the untrained eye, no, but Cliff Marleau has lived out of the locker next to this kid for the past seven years.

  He’s also not a fucking idiot.
