Italian Mega Prix. 9

From the start of the race, Mr. Marchetti had been rather... bored, uninterested, and absent-minded, focused only on the outcome and the final results. His eyes were on the track, but he paid little attention to every movement made by the drivers, unlike every other spectator who studied even the slightest twitch of the tires.

That changed the moment Luca activated Sync Buff.

The shift was instant and undeniable. Luca's presence on the track sharpened, his movements became more fluid, his car cutting through the air with newfound intensity.

Mr. Marchetti sat up, intrigued. His boredom vanished as curiosity took hold.

"Set up a timer," he ordered his assistant beside him. He wanted to get to the bottom of this sudden burst of performance by Luca, especially since the doping tests had come out negative.
