Why were you playing so pathetically?
This was a match
Whether or not Blue Lock was at stake, this was a match
And you refused to lose
You refused to give up simply because you liked the place
You were never one to hesitate to speak your mind.
From a young age, you had this uncanny ability to observe the world around you
You had always stood out to the people who surrounded you
It was at the age of six that you discovered your passion for soccer while watching your older brother playing with the neighbourhood kids
Genji had introduced you to the sport and with that, you had found your passion
By the time you reached middle school, you were the star player of your school's team
Your skills were unparalleled, you had a natural instinct for the game, a keen eye for strategy and a pretty good physical prowess to back it up
But even with your skills, your unfiltered personality often brought you into arguments with your peers
You didn't believe in sugarcoating things, it was useless and wasn't going to help anybody improve if they were always being sheltered from the truth
You saw things as they were and felt as though it was your duty to voice your observations, no matter how uncomfortable they might be
If a teammate was slacking off during practice, you went ahead and called them out
If a teammate had made a mistake during a match, you pointed it out
If a friend asked your honest opinion on a sensitive matter, you always gave them a straight and blunt answer
To you, you felt like you were helping them out by pointing out their mistakes in hopes that they could find a way to learn from them, but not everybody was able to appreciate the harsh truth
At first, people were appreciative of your straightforwardness
People always came to you for feedback, believing that your insights were helping them improve
But eventually, as middle school ended and high school started, people were starting to grow tired of you
The truth wasn't always what everybody wanted, especially when it was hurtful
Her friends and teammates grew resentful of your constant critiques, feeling attacked rather than motivated
They felt judged and uncomfortable around you
The turning point came during a crucial soccer game at the end of your second year
You were on the brink of participating in the championship, and tensions were high
