Summary
“Sae-chan, have you ever thought about quitting soccer?” …What?
“What?” he replied, needing to make sure he’d heard correctly.
“I asked if you’ve ever considered stopping soccer altogether.” So he had heard right. But to be honest, with how sleepy he was and how he’d stopped paying attention to Shidou’s rambling, he had no idea what led to that question.
Or when Shidou’s inquiry caused Sae to lay his feelings bare.

“Sometimes I feel the same. That dull, stagnant feeling. Like… what’s the point of doing something that doesn’t excite you anymore? But I can’t quit, because it’s the only thing I’ve been doing.” He could feel Shidou watching him, but Sae kept his gaze fixed ahead. He knew that if he looked at him now, he’d lose the nerve to keep talking.
“So I push through. I shove all my feelings and emotions down. As long as I still have my goal of becoming the best in the world, it means I still have a reason to play.” He turned to Shidou, meeting his eyes.
“But you’re different from me. Your goal isn’t to be the best. Soccer is something that gives you life. And if it can’t give you that anymore, then you have no reason to keep going,” he finished firmly.
