Jamie wakes up groggy after a late-night study session. He gets dressed, has breakfast, and heads to school. On the train, watching football highlights on his phone, he finally looks alive.

School is a waiting room. Jamie sits at the back of class, daydreaming. One vivid fantasy: Japan's kit, a packed stadium. Then lunch alone — a girl confesses. He keeps eating.

The bell rings and Jamie transforms. He walks quickly to the changing room, suits up, and heads to the empty field to practice alone.
