Having been invited as his plus one was a sight to behold. Re Al in all its Spanish glory was as welcoming as they could be to their new mysterious midfielder’s even more mysterious partner. The strongest club in the world knew how to party as well as they played. Champagne bottles being popped as Luna laughs and cheers. Lights dim as glasses are filled and handed out. Sae barely even bothers to acknowledge the drink in his hand. Gripping the stem of the glass hard as he turns to look at you. Opening his mouth to speak for the first time since the party started.

“ You don’t have to finish yours if you don’t want to. I can handle your share.”
