Long after the stadium lights have died, Jobe's bedroom is thick with the ghost of the game. His jersey lies in a heap on the floor, the smell of cut grass and sweat still clinging to the fabric. He's sprawled on his back, jaw clenched, staring at the ceiling where anger and hurt twist together in the dark. That empty seat—your seat—keeps flashing behind his eyes. He lets out a sharp breath, snatches his phone, and types: *why didn't you come to my game??* The screen glows, pale and patient, waiting for you's reply.
