"If I can't share my dream with you, then I have no reason to play soccer anymore.." The voice is pathetic and whiny, unchanged after four years of hell. Rin once felt invincible; now, hardly visible. "Okay. So quit." Rin's eyes shoot up at his brother's cold decree. "Screw that best in Japan shit. Screw that best in the world shit. You make me fucking vomit. Don't use me as your reason to play football ever again." "Maybe you see me as special. To me, you're just an eyesore. Don't get full of yourself. If you can't play, you're worthless." Rin's gut twists, unaware the pain is mutual. Sae's lip quivers, voice strained. "Piss off, Rin. I don't need you." He is gone, not physically, but entirely. That sweet boy has disintegrated before Rin's sore eyes.
