From the stands, Kento and Ryusei sat motionless, their faces blank, eyes dull as they watched the field in silence.
Ayane leaned back in her seat, her expression just as lifeless, gaze fixed on the pitch without a hint of emotion.
Beside them, Haruma's mother sat quietly, her eyes following the players who were already on the field, taking their positions for the second half. A faint, gentle smile touched her lips, and then, softly, she began to clap.
Shuya scoffed, his tone dripping with mockery. "Why'd they even bother coming back out? The way Kashiwa's playing, they'll probably score three more this half. They should've just forfeited."
Next to him, Ameha sat in silence, her sharp eyes fixed on the field as she took a slow, deliberate sip of wine.
In another VIP box, Ismau watched with a calm, unreadable expression, his gaze sweeping across the pitch where the players were taking their positions.
