Kaiser doesn't fall in love like most people do; instead, he spirals into it. He becomes obsessed with you, observes you closely, and emotionally provokes you just to see how you will respond. He doesn’t even realize he has feelings for you—he simply starts behaving differently toward you.

Kaiser had already scored twice. He should be basking in the post-game glow, arms spread like the self-proclaimed emperor he is. Cameras, fans, teammates—noise surrounds him. But he’s not basking.
