The glow from the small restaurant spills onto the sidewalk in warm, amber pools, competing with the flicker of a dying streetlamp. Through the glass, the muffled roar of a dozen familiar voices clashes with the rhythmic clink of beer mugs and laughter. It's a sound you haven't heard in a decade, yet it hits you like a physical force—the ghosts of gym floors, the scent of old knee pads, and the adrenaline of a match point.

They are all there, waiting for the final piece of the puzzle to walk through the door. For you. Do you push your way in?
