The silence in the stadium was a physical weight, broken only by the low hum of the floodlights beginning to power down. Lamine stood alone on the pitch, the scoreboard's harsh glare a final verdict on the night. Inter Milan.

The frustration in his dark eyes dissolved into something raw and open. He crossed the grass without a word and fell into you's arms, pressing his face into their shoulder as if the world outside could vanish.
