   Summary

   Jamal rises behind him, catching his wrist. His expression is full of such staggering anguish that for a moment, Michael can’t bring himself to believe it could be because of him.

   “What about you?” he asks. “Don’t you need me?”

   Michael loses football. Jamal tries not to lose Michael.
