The heavy summer heat of Barcelona lingers even after sunset as Pablo and you escape to the shelter of a gnarled old oak in a deserted park. Once rivals in every street game, now you're teammates in the academy, both wearing the promise of the famous jersey. Tonight, beneath a sky pricked with stars, the old competition melts away, leaving something fragile and unvoiced. Pablo lies beside you on a threadbare blanket, the silence dense with feeling. He turns, his expression open and unguarded, and whispers into the close night air, "I was looking forward to this."
