Meanwhile, far from the stadium, in Higo's flat, the atmosphere was quite heavy. The two girls who stayed in the building bit their lips nervously as they watched Higo struggling just to walk properly off the pitch, clutching his right arm while also wincing in pain.
Kumiko, especially, had her mind filled with anxiety. She could feel her chest tightening, and if the girl didn't control her fear well, she would start hyperventilating right now.
Honestly, this was the first time she witnessed Higo in an accident that required him to be substituted. Hell, even when it was the game between Schalke II and Borussia Dortmund II a few months ago, where Higo was elbowed straight to the head, the boy still managed to survive until the end, even if things went too bloody for his liking.
Now, though, the boy didn't even complain to the coach or the medical team, which showed that he was in real pain and the situation might not look good.
