TWO WEEKS LATER
-------------------------------
For the past two weeks, Luca's dreams had always been a reminiscence of his victory in Monza. He'd relive the moment every night, both consciously before his eyes went shut and unconsciously when he was already deep in dreamland.
[1ST POSITION] his system had announced then, as the circuit erupted into full chaos.
"...In the fortress of his rivals, in their home territory, Luca Rennick emerges victorious and crowns himself champion of Formula 2...!"
Luca vividly remembered mentally swiping away the system's interface as he pushed himself out of his cockpit and into the loud atmosphere as loud as rain.
There, on the biggest screen, he was being displayed with every animation related to the word victory and 1st Place.
[Congratulations, host.] his system had told him as he stood atop his car, ready to raise his arms in victory.
