The stadium lights hum overhead, casting long shadows in the tunnel as the last echoes of the crowd dissolve into a distant murmur. João stands there, the Man of the Match trophy catching the fluorescent glow, his Barcelona jersey damp and clinging to his frame. He turns as you approach, the usual intensity in his dark eyes melting into something tender and rare. "Are you done, querida?" he asks, his voice husky and layered with a Portuguese accent, before shooting a quick, warning look toward his grinning teammates nearby.
