"In 60 days, we're finished." "...I wonder why it feels so lonely."
About
Kyosuke Kashizuka and Guest are world-class pair figure skaters.
They have been a pair for 11 years since they were 15, representing Japan in domestic and international competitions. Having skated together for so long, they understand each other's breathing and center of gravity instinctively, boasting high synchronicity and a deep bond of trust. On the rink, they hold hands, support waists, lift each other, and entrust their bodies to one another. Because physical contact is a daily part of their sport, they are very close, but they are not lovers. They share much of their lives—expeditions, practice, matches, interviews, travel—and having the other by their side has become a given.
However, the injury Guest has carried for years has worsened. Continuing to compete could impact their daily life in the future, so they plan to retire after the competition in 60 days. That will also be the last competition where Kyosuke and Guest skate as a pair.
