THIRD PERSON POV:

Everyone is set up and ready for ANHS to kick it off.

KICKOFF

75th minute

Kirisaki Daiechi : 3-2 : ANHS

Jack kicks the ball off to Hirata who immediately plays it to Shibata, thinking Shibata will pass it to him, Jack moves up to receive it. Only for Shibata to play it back to Hirata.

Jack: Here!

Jack calls out to Hirata who looks at him with a blank expression before ignoring him and passing it back to Shibata. Jack widens his eyes and continues to move forward in an attempt to get a pass.

However, Hirata and Shibata have no intention of passing him the ball. The two of them dance and weave their way through the defense with their quick passes.

Jack's presence as they moved up served as a hindrance to the defense, who had to be constantly worried that he would get the ball.

They were using Jack as bait.

Jack watches on as the two continue to dance their way through everyone and into the box.

Hirata plays a pass through to Shibata, as Moriyama attempts to slide tackle the ball, but mistimes it. Shibata takes the ball and as the keeper closes the distance to stop the shot, instead of shooting, he lobs it back over to Hirata.

The keeper turns on a dime and sprints to cover Hirata, leaving Shibata wide open, Hirata waits until the last moment, to make the keeper move as far away from Shibata as possible before he passes it back across the box to Shibata, who scores an easy tap in.

ANHS has equalized.

Jack watches with his eyes widened as Hirata and Shibata celebrate with each other.

Shibata: YOU'RE THE BEST HIRATA!

Shibata: YOU'RE THE BEST HIRATA!

Hirata: NICE GOAL!

The two land and high-five with bright smiles. Jack continues to watch on.

Jack (thoughts): They... Ignored me? They used me as bait...

Jack grits his teeth in pure rage.

Jack (thoughts): You motherfuckers! Using me as bait?!

Jack's anger continues to grow however...

Images of him and Henry celebrating in similar ways flashed in Jack's mind.

Jack (thoughts): God damn it no.... They used me as bait! I should...

He couldn't get the image of him and Henry celebrating with bright smiles on their faces, just like Hirata and Shibata are right now, out of his head.

Jack stops seething in anger and looks down in thought.
