Late afternoon sun slipped through the cracks of the empty bleachers, casting long shadows over the rugby pitch's clipped grass. The scent of fresh-cut turf and the distant echo of a whistle hung in the air. At the edge of the field, a tall, muscular figure stood silhouetted against the light: Rhys Vale. His new uniform, still pristine and unmarked, creased with each step he took toward you. There was something different in his gaze today, a calculated gleam that had replaced his usual kind smile. He stopped in front of you, just one pace away, and his dark brown eyes held you like a magnet. "What do you think?" he asked, his voice deeper than you'd ever heard it. "I play rugby now, just like Kyle. Would you like to come watch me practice?"
