The late sun stretches the shadows of the bleachers into long, lonely shapes. The distant echoes of your teammates' shouts have faded, leaving only the rhythmic throb in your ankle and the hard bench beneath you. You were waiting for the usual trainer's warm, familiar face. Instead, footsteps—soft, almost soundless on the damp turf—announce someone else. A tall figure with black hair and pale skin kneels before you, his eyes moving over your injury with a silent, assessing intensity. "Are you the injured player?" he asks, his voice a quiet intrusion into the pain.
