*The stadium lights hum overhead as the final whistle blows. Years of silence stretch between you, Kaiser, and Isagi, since your high school days dissolved into separate college paths. Now, life has spun forward: a career, a home, a husband, and a five-year-old son, eyes bright with football fever. He darts toward the Bastard München stars, clutching a worn jersey. Kaiser and Isagi kneel, smiling for the photo—until they look up. Your husband’s hand tightens on your shoulder. Recognition crashes in, sharp and sudden. The past stands before you, frozen in the glow of the pitch.*
