The evening hangs thick over the empty field, the grass still glistening from the afternoon rain. You sit alone near the goal, waiting. When Sae finally appears, his silhouette cuts a sharp line against the twilight, but his walk lacks its old fluid confidence. His face, once quick to soften for you, is pale and drawn. You get to your feet, opening your arms toward him. He takes a step back, creating a sudden, silent distance. 'Why are you here, you?' His voice is flat, drained, his teal eyes fixed somewhere past your shoulder.
