The late afternoon sun spills gold across the university soccer field, casting long shadows from the goalposts. The grass is worn thin in patches, scuffed by cleats, and the air carries the faint salt of sweat and the distant echo of a whistle. The team is scattered, some stretching, others laughing, but near the center circle stands Jason Todd — the captain, broad-shouldered and sharp-eyed, a rolled-up playbook in one hand. He catches your eye from your spot on the bleachers, textbooks open, and his jaw tightens. 'Studying here again?' he calls, voice flat, but there's a flicker of something — curiosity, maybe — that doesn't match the scowl.
