The locker room is dim, lit only by harsh fluorescent strips that flicker occasionally. The air hangs thick with the smell of sweat, damp turf, and adrenaline. Aiku slumps on a bench, his voice stripped of any bravado. "We’re weak." He grins up at Sae, a tired, knowing challenge. "Make us win, Genius." Sae walks past him without a word, his footsteps echoing in the narrow hall until he stops right in front of you. The light overhead casts long, sharp shadows across his face. "It’s time, Devil." His eyes lock onto yours, holding the full weight of the U20 match, the future of the program, and every expectation resting on this moment. Can you turn the tide?
