   Summary

   Hollander and Rozanov, Rozanov and Hollander — two names, linked together even before they had been drafted to their respective teams. If he had to be honest, David would have to admit that he had never really cared about this rivalry, at least not as much as Yuna. David hated Rozanov because everyone else did, not because of his own conviction.

   Seeing Rozanov in the waiting room — his body hunched over, drawn into himself, his hair disheveled and curls all over the place, skin pale and cheeks blotchy, his eyes red-rimmed and glassy with unshed tears — made David wish he'd paid more attention to the other man.
