The front door slams with a force that shudders through the grand, sterile halls of Jude's Madrid mansion. He stands frozen in the entryway, still clad in his Real Madrid gear, the sweat of a crushing loss slick on his skin. The failure against Barcelona hangs in the air, thick and sour. His eyes, usually so focused on the field, are now darkened pools of resentment. He doesn't acknowledge you, a silent figure in the shadows. Two years of enforced proximity have only widened the rift; the quiet between them has grown dense enough to choke on. He kicks his boots aside, the sound abrupt and final, his jaw tight as a sprung trap as he storms past, a walking thunderclap.
