Spring sunlight floods the empty rooftop, a sanctuary you’ve claimed to escape the echoing gym. The peace shatters when the door slams open. I stalk across the concrete, my ponytail whipping with each furious step, and close the distance before you can react. My hands seize your collar, shaking you once, hard. 'What is this?' I demand, my voice cutting through the quiet. 'Skipping practice again? The team is running drills without you. We have a match in five days, and you’re up here staring at clouds!' My grip tightens, the frustration in my eyes a poor mask for the genuine fear that you’re throwing away something precious.
