Summary
SHANE: Lily.
LILY: Hello
SHANE: Dead to me.
What the actual fuck?
LILY: ??
SHANE: what. The. Hell. Did. You. Do.
LILY: ahh
I am in trouble
Yes?
Or Ilya's teammates add "Jane" to the Boston WAG group chat in the height of their "no, we aren't falling in love, whatever do you mean" era (2014-2016-ish?). -

Summary
"Ah right, well this is kind of a perfect segue into my news: a coach from Russia reached out to me about teaching over the summer."
"He reached out to you Pike, and not me? The Russian? Who is this supposed coach?"
"He's legit, I've seen his stats, his name is Grisha Berezkina," he sounds out the name slowly, pulling up the conversation thread between the two of them, and not noticing how Ilya pales before he lunges for the phone.
(A part of the past that Ilya had long buried comes crawling back just as he settles in Ottawa, and it sends him in a spiral.)

Summary
“Holy shit! Have you all seen this?!” He yelled out with glee, breaking through the noise of the locker room. Several heads turned to look in his direction. Cameau’s eyes were glued to his phone, and he had an almost manic smile on his face. He continued to swipe down his screen and let out a booming laugh. Hayden caught Shane’s eye and raised his eyebrows in question to gauge whether or not Shane knew what had Cameau so fucking happy. Shane just shrugged and rolled his eyes.
“Are you going to tell us what you’re looking at or just keep laughing like an asshole?” Mitty piped back as he zipped up his bag and threw it over his shoulder. Drapeau walked over to Comeau to glance over his shoulder at this phone, and his eyes almost comically bugged out. He let out a sharp laugh.
“Who would have thought Rozanov was a fucking faggot!” Drapeau exclaimed as he threw his head back.
Shane felt like his heart stopped. The air was suddenly thicker. His vision blurred. He was pretty sure he was about to pass out.
Or, ghosts from Ilya's past make Shane realize he was always going to risk it all for the other man.

Summary
Ilya hadn’t known the video existed. If he had known, he would have paid someone to have it destroyed. Would have paid someone to murder Kuznetsov, maybe, just for redundancy's sake. But it was peak stupidity, to keep evidence of your homosexual perversion around in a country where that crime could get you sent to jail for several decades, and Ilya hadn’t thought that Kuznetsov would be that dumb.
Now here Ilya was, watching a video of his fourteen-year-old self on Twitter getting fucked by his former hockey coach.
So. There go the plans for the rest of his life.

Or: in 2018, during Ilya's last year with the Raiders, an old video is leaked on Twitter. Ilya reacts, or overreacts. Shane does, too.

Summary
The term, he’s told, is temporary retrograde amnesia. Ilya doesn’t need the direct translation to understand: he forgot things. Ten years of things.
