When Neil Fachie reappeared in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, he said to pilot Aaron Pope: "The story is written here, let's finish it off."
The last chapter of Scotland's record-breaking Para-cyclist was always going to be chronicled here. It just so happens no one drafted up the version that unfolded.
Fachie finished his Commonwealth Games career where he started it, here in Glasgow, with gold medals in the men's tandem B 1,000m and tandem B sprint.
But that doesn't tell half the story.
There were hopes, tears and fears. Thighs burning, knees bleeding and lungs bursting. Nerves jangling, fingers crossing and hearts pounding.
