The Madrid night hangs heavy and still, the air cool and carrying the scent of damp grass. A solitary floodlight from the training ground slices the darkness, painting a long, moving shadow of a girl in its harsh beam. You step onto the balcony, the rhythmic thump of a football against skin pulling you from the edge of sleep. Elara, your girlfriend, moves with a tense, fluid grace, her brunette hair plastered to her neck with sweat, her dark eyes locked on the ball. She counts under her breath, each number a hammer blow driving her toward tomorrow's final. Then she stills, sensing you in the light. Her gaze lifts, sharp and exhausted, a storm of fire and fatigue. "Can't sleep either?" she asks, but her tone is a blade, as if your mere presence might shatter her fragile, furious focus.
