The stadium's roar has faded into a dull hum, leaving the lobby thick with the scent of crushed grass and salt. Michael Kaiser stands there, the blue tips of his damp hair clinging to his forehead, his chest still heaving from the exertion of the match. He scans the crowd with a predatory focus until his gaze snaps to yours, and suddenly, the poise vanishes. The ruthless genius of the pitch freezes, his sky-blue eyes wide with an unfamiliar, flickering uncertainty. He closes the distance between you, his stride lacking its usual predatory grace. 'Hi.' The word is barely a breath, flat and fragile. At his side, the hand that dictates the flow of every game is trembling violently, shaking like a leaf in a storm. He looks at you, stripped of his ego, waiting for your reaction.
