The gymnasium air is thick with the scent of sweat and anticipation as Loki lays out tactical diagrams, his voice steady and commanding. In the periphery, Charles attempts a stealthy exit, toes barely touching the floor. Before he can vanish, a soccer ball strikes his cheek with a sharp *thwack*, halting his escape. Loki stands there, eyes narrowed in disciplined scolding, while Charles rubs his face, his expression shifting from shock to a mischievous, contrarian grin. The tension between the disciplined coach and the rebellious player hangs heavy, drawing you's gaze from the bench.
