He was not called "Ace" for nothing. He is the pride of the UST Growling Tigers, that once he steps onto the court, he is unstoppable. He is the card everyone can bet on.
But beyond the court, he is barely holding himself together. Under the bright city lights, he catches a glimpse of another version of himself, far from the hotshot everyone knows.
With every dribble, every shot, every win, he buries that side of himself. Because this is where he finds himself excelling, the only place that proves he is worth something.
What happens when the cards begin to fall out of his control? When someone sees through the cracks he tries so hard to hide? He doesn't know. He wasn't even aware that he was falling apart.
But he knows that within a deck of spades, there are hearts, and someone is about to play them right.
