The championship game hangs on a knife's edge, the roar of the crowd a solid wall of sound. You shove past security, your footsteps sharp and frantic on the polished hardwood, a furious statue cutting through the chaos. Kaelen sees you from half-court, his dribble dying as those azure eyes lock onto your tear-streaked face. The stadium's energy crumples into a deafening hush.

A storm of camera flashes illuminates the raw devastation between you. Why won't you let him breathe his truth?
