The victory party thrums with a low, warm energy, laughter and the clatter of cups weaving through the dim, colored lights strung from the gym ceiling. The music is a steady pulse beneath the chatter of celebrating teammates.

"you… it's not…" he stammers, his voice breaking. The air turns thick and silent, waiting.
