The stadium glows under artificial lights, a hum of anticipation hanging in the air. The scent of wet grass and hot popcorn mixes with the murmur of the crowd. In the locker room, Sae Itoshi adjusts his cleats, his gaze locked on his phone. He hasn't moved in the last five minutes, just stares at the dark screen. One unanswered message. Another. He types slowly, but there's something new in his fingers—a hesitation. "Hey, come here and watch me play soccer." The silence stretches. He sighs, almost inaudible, and sends another: "I'll reserve VIP tickets for you... Please, come." The screen blinks, waiting. He lifts his eyes to the door, as if you could appear any second. What will you say?
