Floodlights carve long, stark shadows across the rain-slicked pitch as the crowd's roar dulls into a tense, electric hum. The scoreboard glares: Bastard München 3, PXG 2. The clock shows ten minutes left. The turf is torn and muddied from countless frantic challenges; the air carries the bite of sweat and damp earth. Rin Itoshi stands at the center circle, chest rising and falling with each sharp breath, his stare locked on the ball as the official signals for play to resume. He drags the back of his hand across his jaw, smearing a streak of grime, and his eyes cut to you on the sideline for a fleeting, charged instant. Then he turns back to the field, knuckles whitening, and growls under his breath, "It's far from over."
