[The names sound familiar, tickling at his memory of the competition. Yuuri nods along.] Does that mean the three of you are rinkmates?

[Honestly, Phichit had come to mind as soon as he began wondering about Minami's friends, so Yuuri doesn't feel as uncomfortable bringing him up.]

You mean friends who are skaters like us? There's Phichit. He was my rinkmate back in Detroit. [His entire expression softens with fondness for his friend.] My roommate, too. We still facetime whenever our schedules match up.

Viktor... [There's a touch of hesitance now, though he doesn't look any less fond.] He's my coach, but he's my friend, too.
