In Every Story of Mine (A Jassi-Hardik story)

"When we look back
And when we're old
We'll see your footprints next to mine along the road."

Jassi chose to spend the unpleasant two months of IPL '24 as isolated from the world and his team as would give him peace. He doesn't have an inkling why, now that IPL is over, now that they're back with their family for the World Cup, Hardik is still choosing that zone.

And he doesn't wonder until too late if he'd entirely missed something breaking inside his best friend when he was too busy ignoring reality.
