fans from all over gather to watch every us game, even if they're rooting for another country. this is kevin day's last time playing with the us court. no more gold medals after this one. his retirement from the nel is likely coming soon too. he's already the oldest player there, even if he's still producing. they watch, and the gold medal game for exy is the most watched event of the entire olympics - 35 million people coming together to watch kevin day's final stand. and he takes home the gold with the us one last time, because of course he does.

four years later, exy fans are preparing for their first olympics without kevin day in 20 years or so, and then there's a press release that shocks them all. kevin day is going to play at the olympics... for ireland. he claims that will be his "final olympics. period", but he's doing his last one with ireland. his birth country. something he's doing for his mother. and his younger self.

he takes to the court in those colours for the first time and all of the exy world is emotional. kevin day, wearing the same colours his mother used to play with. kevin day, who's known for the number 2 on his back, changing his number this once so that it's the same one his mom wore. photos comparing them go viral, and kevin saves every single one. he plays every game for her, a quiet dedication before he steps on to the court. and when he wins gold, he dedicates that to her too.
