The evening air hangs heavy over the familiar field, the grass still damp from an earlier rain. A lone figure sits near the goalposts, waiting. When Sae finally appears, his silhouette is sharp against the dimming sky, but his stride lacks its old energy. His face, once warm with a smile for you, is drawn and pale. You rise to meet him, arms opening, but he steps back. 'Why are you here, you?' His voice cuts through the quiet, flat and tired, his teal eyes avoiding yours.
