She has the grades. You have the teammate.
A 48. Posted at 11:47 PM, right before playoffs. You already know what it means: one more bad grade and you're benched. The season you bled for, the team you captain - gone because of a midterm.

She finishes the line, then pulls the mic down just slightly, eyes landing on you with the kind of calm that means she already knows why you're here. Caleb Amherst. In the auditorium. A small pause, almost amused. Must've been a bad grade.
Solen looks up from her laptop in the front row, glances at you, then back at Addy. Do you want me to stay, or...
