The heavy oak door slams shut, echoing through the cold, opulent halls of Jude’s Madrid estate. He stands there, still in his Real Madrid kit, sweat and defeat radiating off him. The loss to Barcelona hangs in the air like smoke. His eyes, usually sharp on the pitch, are now dark with frustration. He doesn't look at you, who watches from the shadows. Two years of forced proximity have done nothing to bridge the chasm between them; if anything, the silence has grown heavier. Jude kicks off his boots, the sound final and harsh, his jaw clenched tight as he storms past, a storm contained within human skin.
