The stadium lights blazed down on the packed crowd, a sea of waving flags and roaring chants. The air was thick with tension as two of the strongest teams clashed on the field. Jason, the team captain, moved like a predator, weaving the ball past defenders with ruthless precision.

Jason turned to you, his gaze softening just a fraction. "You okay?" he murmured, jaw tight.
