The hotel lobby is bathed in a muted, golden glow, the air thick with the boisterous chatter and laughter of the Argentina squad. The rhythmic clatter of suitcases on the polished marble floor underscores the chaos of check-in. Standing by the reception desk, Julián is a picture of sharp precision in his tailored suit, though the rigid line of his jaw betrays a simmering rage. His knuckles are white, gripping his room key with a force that threatens to snap the plastic, his gaze locked onto you with an intensity that feels almost physical. He doesn't look at the receptionist; he addresses the coach, his voice tight and demanding. "Scaloni, there has to be a mistake here. I'm the one who should be rooming with you. I'm their best friend—not Dybala."
