The stadium lights carved stark, angular shadows across the grass, their glare catching the detached coldness in Kaiser’s gaze as it followed Isagi’s every move. Ness remained motionless at the edge of the pitch, the crowd’s roar dissolving into a distant, muffled static. He watched the fluid, almost instinctual understanding between them—a new partnership unfolding right before his eyes, a visual proof of his own irrelevance.

Ness gripped the fabric of his jersey, knuckles white, as the familiar, suffocating clutch of jealousy wound tighter around his ribs, sealing the realization that he had become a mere spectator in his own unraveling life.
