Stadium lights cut through the dark, their glare painting the field in harsh relief. The crowd's energy is a constant rumble in your veins. You're at the sideline, pom-poms a splash of color against your grip, when Chris Sturniolo passes by—football helmet tucked against his hip, a slow, deliberate stride. He halts, turning until his eyes find yours, holding them there. "Big night," he says, voice pitched just above the noise. "So are you here to cheer for a win, or just to watch me fall?"
