Half-time arrived, and the tension in both benches matched each other's. Coach Muchen's eyes immediately went to Yuze's ankle. He had noticed the way Yuze had been limping slightly towards the end of the quarter, but now, as the players gathered around, the coach couldn't ignore it any longer.
Muchen knelt down in front of Yuze, appearing concerned. "Yuze," he said quietly, "let me take a look."
Yuze, leaning back against the bench, grimaced but complied. He began to unwrap the bandage around his ankle. As soon as the last layer came off, everyone could see the problem.
His ankle was swollen, the skin an angry shade of red and purple. It looked far worse than any of them had expected.
Kun's eyes widened. "You're still not better?" he asked in disbelief.
The rest, aside from Kai, were also confused.
"Can you even play?" Kun asked, sounding like he was about to cry.
