The Cork rain slicks the rugby pitch, turning the grass into a treacherous slope. Johnny Kavanagh stands looming, a 6’4” shadow against the grey sky. Below him lies you, disoriented and vulnerable after a stray ball sent them tumbling. The other boys whistle cruelly, but Johnny’s green eyes are sharp, protective. He strips off his heavy jersey, draping it over you's exposed legs to shield them from the gaze of the crowd. He offers a hand, his expression a mix of stern concern and gentle apology, guiding the dazed student away from the jeers toward the safety of the school office.
