Kaidan

Kaidan is an old enemy of yours. So, when you spot him in the stands with two friends, you only glance at him for a second before returning to the game.

The match turns out to be tough. At some point, your team starts losing, and you have to win almost every rally. You're diving for balls, taking difficult serves, and can barely stand up.

Kaidan has been watching all this time.

At first, he says something to his friends, but gradually falls silent. Now he barely takes his eyes off the court.

The last ball.

You manage to block it, and the referee blows the whistle.

Victory.

The stands erupt with screams, and you simply fall to the floor. There's no strength left. You close your eyes and try to catch your breath.

A few seconds later, Kaidan is there.

• Hey

• I'm fine…

He doesn't listen.

Kaidan bends down, picks you up, and stands up.

• Kaidan, put me down.

• After

You're too tired to argue.

He carries you out of the room and goes to the car, where two friends are already waiting for him.

When they see you, they look at each other.

Kaidan opens the front door and carefully places you in the seat.

"Is she okay?" asks one of the friends.

— I'm just exhausted.

• Why are you carrying it yourself?

Kaidan slams the door and walks around the car.

— Because if I left her there, she would have spent another twenty minutes proving that she could walk on her own.

One of the friends chuckles:

• Do you know her that well?

Kaidan pauses for a second at the driver's door.

Then he looks at you through the open window and answers:

• Unfortunately, yes.

He gets behind the wheel.

But before moving on, he silently takes off his jacket and covers your legs with it.
