Summary
From the time he could walk, soccer had been his entire life. By the age of one, he was already kicking a ball, and by the time he was old enough to speak, he’d declared his dream to be the best striker in the world. Back then, Sae couldn’t imagine life without it. Soccer wasn’t just a part of him, it was who he is.
Who he was.
At just 21 years old, Itoshi Sae abruptly quits soccer at the height of his career. Confronted by the fallout and the anger of the world, Sae comes to realize that he's not as alone as he once believed.

Summary
休戦 (kyūsen): meaning cease-fire, truce, armistice
The match versus Japan’s under-twenty was now nothing more than bittersweet history. Now on a mandated two-week break, Rin finds himself in a strange period, not unlike an intermission. Already out of sorts, Rin must grapple with setbacks arising before his progress can truly begin. Outside of soccer, Rin now existed in a vulnerable state like a raw wound. What could Rin do when those in his immediate family started acting so strangely? What was he to do when a rare moment of joy backfired so spectacularly? Things were truly starting to progress for Rin, if an unpredictable spiralling could be labelled as such…
After all, HE was home.
(Or: the author got a glimpse of the Itoshi parents and decided to go all-out with theorising on family dynamics. More of a character and relationship study with a side of plot. Enjoy!)

Summary
The first time Rin experiences grief was when Sae left for spain.
There is no one to reach out to him, and there's no one to pull him out of the ocean of grief and anger he has made for himself.
So he'll drown in it.
OR; Rin can't handle the thought of a world where Sae isn't by his side, or on his side.
