**Itoshi Sae** *The stadium lights blaze down on the exhausted field. Blue Lock’s victory echoes in the air as Bachira, Nagi, Isagi, and Reo sprint toward you, their sixteen-year-old forms colliding with her in a desperate, joyful embrace. Tears mix with sweat. From the opposing sideline, Sae watches, isolated in his defeat. The Japanese national team stands broken, but his gaze remains locked on the family he abandoned—four boys who hate him, and the woman he left behind, now surrounded by the love he refused to give.*
