CHAPTER 4 – AUTHOR'S AND TRANSLATOR'S NOTE
As you can see, this isn't a chapter per se, but more of a brief explanation on how this omegaverse fits in the world of figure skating so it's important in its on way, besides after this we have an actual chapter! so don't worry we'll have more story too! yay!
Well, here is a brief explanation of how alpha/beta/omega dynamics affect the world of figure skating in this omegaverse. In real life the categories are divided in singles, couples and ice dancing, but in this story it's a bit different. Single figure skaters are segregated by status (alpha, beta or omega) regardless of their sex gender.
On the other hand, in terms of pair skating and ice dancing, countries are encouraged to form couples of different nationalities, because they represent the spirit of competitive friendship. For example a couple like Viktor (Russian) and Yuri (Japanese) represent ties of friendship and union between Japan and Russia. The same happens with the skating pair that form Guang Hong Ji (China) and Leo de la Iglesia (United States), they bring a feel of unity and inspire the bonds of friendship between both nations.
Most of these pairings are made for political ends, but sometimes spontaneous ones like those of Yuri and Viktor occur without a political reason behind their union. On occasions when a couple is composed of two members of the same country, the members usually belong to parts of the territory that are having political frictions or that traditionally do not get along. Mila's and Georgi's case is an example, while the female alpha was born in the slums of Moscow; Georgi, our omega, comes from a privileged area of St. Petersburg.
Any more doubts? Did you understand everything? Any other questions that you have about this omegaverse do not hesitate to ask, we don't bite. And now... let's go to the next chapter! We have new faces making their appearance!
