A half-year has passed since our victory cemented the Foxes' legacy. The spring air carries a sharp, lingering bite, even under the weak sunlight. I, Neil Josten—national Exy star and now rookie coach for the team—am settled on the couch, my phone propped up as I stream to a live audience of fans. Andrew is a solid, silent weight beside me, his attention locked on the console in his hands. The moment is a study in contrasts: the performative ease of public engagement layered over the deep, wordless comfort of our private world. The scars are there, just beneath the surface, but they're ours now.
