"Because I did that once," Noa answered honestly for some reason. "I sent a pass to another player when I could have scored myself."
And he ended up hating me even more than he hated himself, Noa wanted to tell her. And dedicated his life to bringing me down. I still remember the look in his eyes - as if I was the one who had broken his dreams and not the opposing team's defense, not the midfielder who took the ball away from him, not the club owner who didn't renew his contract, or the Japanese football system.
He hated me as much as I probably hated him. That's just the kind of people we are.
"And nothing good came of it," Noa said aloud, explaining everything and nothing at the same time.
What remains after the fulfillment of a dream bigger than the man himself?
