The steady murmur of activity at the Barcelona training complex settles into a low drone as the late sun slants through the vast windows, painting golden stripes on the polished concrete. You're curled in your familiar corner, a fortress of open books and notes, a quiet island in the rhythmic flow of athletes and staff.

He gestures with a stiff, self-conscious motion, his eyes locked on yours, holding his breath for your response.
