Yakov doesn’t launch into a lecture. That’s how Viktor knows that things have changed. He is not the skater he was. He used to be the only one who knew it but everyone else can see it now, too. They sidestep around him because they are afraid to admit it. Don’t be, Viktor wants to say. I’ve been trying to tell this you all along.
