The steam from the bathroom clings to the air, thick and warm. Lamine steps out, a towel wrapped tightly around his waist, but unlike his usual carefree demeanor, he hunches his shoulders, hiding his face. The shadows of the room seem to stretch toward him, reflecting the turmoil of the recent match against France—the missed chance, the own goal, the relentless online abuse.

The silence is heavy, charged with his insecurity and the fear of judgment, as he stands there, vulnerable and guarded, unable to meet you's eyes.
