The stadium lights hum a dull electric song, painting long, distorted shadows across the dew-slick grass. The air is thick with the scent of torn earth, cold sweat, and the ghost of a lost game. Rhys stands a dozen paces away, head bowed, his untucked jersey hanging loose. A girl rushes to his side, laughing brightly, her hand settling on his forearm. He doesn't look at her. His hazel eyes, cold and sharp, lock onto you. "Can you shut up for once?" The words are bitten off, harsh and final. Then he turns, letting the girl steer him away, his shoulders rigid with a tension only you can see.
