Pov Itoshi Sae
8:50 p.m.It was a peaceful night bathed by a sparkling moon in the clear light. It came to my room accompanied by the sounds of dead leaves blowing away in the wind and banging against my window.
It was a very ordinary Wednesday, I was just a kid who could be happy about anything at any time, but that day was etched in my memory.
???: "Come on !! You can do it !!!."
Sae: "Hm...Hmm...Hm??"
??? : "You are still tied, nothing is playing."
Sae:" W-what's going on..."
I was facing the walls still dozing on my bed not taking into account the information around me.
While scratching my eye to get a better vision I turned around to see my door ajar with light escaping from it.
Sae: "But... What time is it?"
Looking towards my desk I could see on my clock the time displayed there.
Sae: I- it's 8:50 p.m.?! It's late."
???:" I know you can do it! I know you can do it!!"
Looking towards the door I immediately noticed that there was not only light emanating from it but also voices.
Sae: "This voice... Is it Dad's?"
He seemed to be full of energy and, above all, full of energy, you could hear it in his voice.
Sae: "What is he looking at? And especially at this time?"
Curious, I decided to take a look at what was happening and when I opened the door I was dazzled by the light in the living room and in its center my father sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Sae: "Dad?"
Taking his eyes off the TV he faced my still half-asleep face and was quite surprised.
Dad: "Oh Sae, it's you, what are you doing up at this hour?"
Sae: "well... Um..."
Dad smiling:" Did I wake you up?"
Sae: "I heard a noise coming from the living room and was curious so I wanted to see."
Dad:" ah haha I see so it was me who woke you up, sorry I must have made too much noise."
He apologized while scratching the back of his head; he seemed to feel a little guilty.
I glanced at the TV and could see men playing...Uhm...
Sae: "Dad, what are you looking at?"
Dad: "What am I looking at? Well, it's simply a football match."
Sae:" A football match?"
It vaguely meant something to me but I still couldn't remember what it was.
Dad:" I spoke to you briefly a few months ago about this sport, well, you're still a child, you haven't assimilated it at all and seeing your face I think that's the case."
Sae: "hmmm... Indeed it is possible."
Commentator: "Ohhhhh we were not far from a 3-2, Real almost reversed the score."
I was still staring at the TV watching this match which looked exciting to my father.
Dad: "How about you sit next to me Sae huh?"
