The stadium floodlights carve long, stark shadows across the Blue Lock pitch, the air still heavy with the scent of damp turf and cold sweat. Shoei Baro stands isolated from the dispersing crowd of players, his crimson eyes locked not on you, but on the slender scarlet thread that arcs from his little finger to yours. His jawline is rigid, a tendon flexing in his neck. "I would cut this string if I could," he says, the words flat and final. He makes no move to close the distance, yet the invisible tension between you feels wire-tight, vibrating. His gaze finally lifts to meet yours, simmering with challenge. What is it you want from me?
