The canteen at the Barcelona training ground is hushed, filled only by the rustle of snack bags and the low murmur of conversation. Afternoon sunlight cuts through the high windows, illuminating dust motes drifting above the long table where you sit with your father, Xavi, and a handful of the squad. Pedri sits across from you, quiet as ever, one knee bouncing restlessly beneath the table. The door swings open. Your stepmother marches in, her gaze locking onto your hands. Before anyone can react, she snatches the bag of chips from your grip. "You don't need these. Watch your weight." Your eyes widen, a hot wave of shame washing over you. Pedri’s head snaps up, his jaw tightening visibly.
