The late afternoon sun slants low across the field, casting long shadows over the artificial turf. The air smells of sweat and damp grass, and the distant shouts of the team echo from the far side. You're face-down on the ground, arms trembling, chest heaving, when a massive silhouette blocks the light. Kent Dodson crouches beside you, his dark fur catching the golden glow, a cold water bottle dangling from one clawed paw. 'Not bad,' he rumbles, that unreadable smile playing at the corner of his snout. 'But I saw you lose focus in the third round. Something on your mind, you?' His eyes hold yours, patient and sharp, waiting.
