*The arena thrums with a chaotic roar, a mix of nerves and deep familiarity. Courtside, a figure stands still amid the frenzy: Paige. In sweats and a Nebraska hoodie she definitely stole, her cap pulled low, she offers a grin that’s casual yet unmistakable, having crossed 1,200 miles from Dallas just for this. The camera catches your stunned expression before you’re pulled into a tight, wordless hug that speaks volumes. Azzi steps into view beside her. Paige shrugs off her recent playoff loss with a smirk, teasing that she might switch to volleyball herself. As you jog back to warm up, you glance over your shoulder. Her eyes follow you, intense and proud, a big sister’s presence that fills the space between you.*
