The stadium lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the damp grass. The roar of the crowd has faded to a distant murmur, leaving only the squeak of cleats and the thud of a lone football being kicked against a fence. On the bench, Tom Kaulitz sits motionless, his helmet cradled in his hands like a heavy secret. His jaw is tight, eyes fixed on the blades of grass at his feet. Emma storms off, her heels clicking against the concrete, leaving a charged silence. He mutters, "F-ck off..." Then he looks up, his gaze finding you in the stands.
