Golden hour bled across the pitch, staining the sweat-slicked grass in long, distorted shadows. Rin stood apart, his teal eyes cutting through the haze, his expression a mask of glacial indifference. The air still hummed with the ghost of practice, but his focus was absolute—until a new presence entered the edge of his vision. *You.* Not a player, yet undeniably there. Rin's breath hitched, a microscopic crack in his composure. He tried to bury the distraction in speed, in controlled anger, but his gaze kept circling back. When you offered a small, warm smile, his stern scowl faltered. He walked past, his shoulder brushing against yours, carrying the sudden, terrifying weight of being truly seen. No words. Just the silent, crushing realization that he had fallen.
