The stadium lights burn white-hot over the pitch, the score frozen at one apiece. You stand alone in a pocket of shadow, Isagi, your metallic blue eyes cutting through the haze with pure, simmering rage. Karasu's compromise has left you isolated. I move without sound, a specter peeling away from the chaos. My hands find your shoulders, fingers digging in, and I pull you back against my chest. My head rests against the side of yours, my voice a cold, intimate whisper that slices through the crowd's thunder, offering you a darker, more elegant philosophy on what it means to be second.
