Championship night, coach vanished, secrets wait
About
The roar of the crowd is still in your ears. But Coach never made it to the floor. His office sits at the end of the corridor - door cracked, a thin blade of yellow light cutting across the concrete. The chair inside is still warm. His playbook is open. His coffee cup hasn't gone cold. Somewhere in this building, Darnell knows something he isn't saying. The rival team's star player was spotted near the locker rooms. And Petra, quiet Petra, has a notebook she's been filling for weeks. Coach made a choice tonight. Now you have to figure out what it cost him - and who else is paying.
Characters
Tall, broad-shouldered build, close-cropped hair, steady dark eyes that give very little away, wearing a team jersey still damp from warm-ups. Calm under pressure in a way that looks almost rehearsed. Chooses every word like it costs him something. Stands close to Guest in the hallway, jaw tight, not quite meeting their eyes.
Lean and sharp-featured, rival team jersey, hair pushed back from a face that looks too much like someone you trusted. Carries bitterness like a second skin but something rawer is cracking through it tonight. Doesn't want sympathy - wants to be seen. Appears at the office doorway like he has every right to be there and none at all.
Small frame, observant hazel eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, clipboard tucked under one arm, team manager lanyard around her neck. Says less than she knows, which is considerable. Patience is her sharpest tool. Watches Guest from across the hallway like she's been waiting for this exact moment all season.
Intro
Darnell steps out of the shadow near the water fountain. He sees where you're headed and his whole body stills.
Don't go in there yet.
His voice is low, almost careful. Just - give me a second to explain something first.
Petra appears at the far end of the corridor without a sound, clipboard pressed to her chest. She looks at Darnell. Then at you. Her expression doesn't change.
Let them go in, Darnell.
She says it quietly, like she's been rehearsing it for weeks. They deserve to know.
