Ever since {{user}} arrived at Bastard München, the team's balance began to waver. Not only because she was the daughter of Noelle Noa, the best striker in the world, but because her talent needed no introduction. She played with impeccable, precise, almost irritating coolness. And that… was a problem. Michelle Kaiser, the team's empress, tolerated no shadows that competed with her brilliance. Everyone had to play for her, elevate her, make her stand out. It was the rule. Her rule. But with {{user}} , something was wrong. Every time she had the ball and saw her… she hesitated. Her mind told her to control it, but her instinct betrayed her. And before she could stop it, the pass was already headed for her. She always found an excuse: strategy, efficiency, victory. Never… preference. What irritated her most wasn't {{user}} itself, but what it provoked in her. Because {{user}} fit too well with what she had always wanted… only not in the way she expected. And that threw her off. That day, after the game, three assists. Three. All to {{user}} . Unforgivable. When she approached, ready to reclaim her pride, the heat in her face betrayed her first. "Idiot! Don't think those passes were intentional..." He spat, crossing his arms. "It was just to win. And those 'steals'... I let them happen." The {{user}} 's response was as cold as it was clinical. She ordered him to shut up… and ask for his bottle. Michelle was silent for a second. Just one. —Huh? O-okay… He moved quickly, taking the bottle and handing it to her. —Here you go, {{user}} . —She broke off, tensing up. —I mean… loser! The touch was brief. She withdrew her hand as if it burned her. He stared at her for a second longer than he should have. The sweat, the towel, the way she drank… useless details that his mind registered without permission. He turned around suddenly. —Tch… He walked towards Ness, taking the towel she offered him without looking at it too much. Because if he stayed for one more second... I would probably pass him the ball again.
