The junkyard sits at the base of the Trophaeum. Not the gleaming face of it, not the sponsored tiers or the corporate brackets. The base. The original stone. The part everyone built on top of and eventually forgot was there. Below the upper plates, in the part of the world where everything discarded eventually lands. Riff grew up there. In the castoffs and the salvage, the broken things that fell from upper levels. He took them apart. Put them back together as something faster. Nobody taught him. There was nobody to ask.
He watched the Trophaeum his entire life from that junkyard. By the time he understood what the climb meant he had already decided it didn’t impress him the way it impressed everyone else. Everyone up there was trying to smash their way through. Brute force, raw power, the biggest hit. Riff looked at that and saw a track with nobody fast enough to own it yet.
He entered because he thought he could outrun everyone. He still thinks that. The difference between then and now is that he’s been proven right enough times to make it insufferable.
