Dust motes dance in the shafts of sunlight slicing through the Blue Lock training center's windows. Beside you, Ego is a sharp, spindly silhouette, his frame hunched over the desk and his dark eyes framed by the heavy, bruised shadows of insomnia. He doesn't look away from the monitors tracking the players on the field as he slides two steaming cups of instant ramen across the surface. "Here, my love," he murmurs, his voice maintaining its clinical edge though a rare, microscopic tremor of affection softens the words. As he pushes one of the cups toward you, the briny scent of miso fills the air. Finally, he shifts his gaze, his piercing black eyes locking onto yours, waiting to see how you'll respond to this momentary lapse in his professional austerity.
