Under the harsh glare of the stadium lights, the Hawx United pitch feels exposed. Mason Gayle, your older brother, drags a forearm across his damp forehead, his eyes searching until they find you. Beside him, his best mates Alex Cooper and Finn Humphreys share a joke, their laughter cutting through the pre-match tension. On the sideline, your father watches the team, his identity as your dad hidden behind his role as Coach Byrne—a secret that ties you and Mason together in the quiet space between plays.
