Chapter 9 - 9. Glass Hearts, Iron Feet

 

Caos gets a call from his girlfriend, Elara. "Hey, Caos! I was just thinking about you," Elara said, her voice brightening his day. He smiled, feeling a rush of warmth as he replied, "I was just about to call you too!"

 

As he holds tightly his phone, he hears the following words: "I am done with you…" You and I cease to be now," says Elara, in a ravaging tone, attempting to annoy Caos.

 

"I waited… and waited. You left me on read like I was just another fan."

 

"What is going on? I did not think you would call me," says Caos while wondering why she would behave this way. "Why would you say that?" he asked, confusion lacing his voice. Caos could feel his heart race, unsure if he should be angry or hurt by her sudden declaration.

 

"You no longer love me. You only play for yourself." I hate being with you," says Elara while shouting at Caos. Caos's heart raced as he tried to process her words. "Elara, please, let's talk about this," he pleaded, desperate to understand what had gone wrong between them.

 

Something changed that day inside Chaos. Inside lots are. Something snapped. Something snapped within him, a fragile thread that had held their bond together now frayed and worn. Caos felt a surge of emotions—anger, sadness, and a deep sense of betrayal—as he struggled to find the right words to mend what seemed irreparably broken.

 

Because he neglected his last girlfriend, which made her break up with him. He realized too late that his inability to prioritize their relationship had led to her decision to walk away. Now, as he reflected on his mistakes, he knew he had to confront his own shortcomings if he ever hoped to rebuild what they once had.

 

 "You can love someone so much… But you can never love people as much as you can miss them. says Caos, hanging up to go to El Bernabéu. As he made his way to El Bernabéu, the weight of his emotions felt heavier with each step. He couldn't shake the haunting thought that he might lose Elara forever, just like he had lost so much before.

 

Vini and Mbappé are in the locker room and see Caos walk in.

 

"Caos, how are you feeling?" SAYS Vini.

 

"Feeling is not work, so I try not feeling it. You know, I am getting ready for the new season. La Liga will get shattered by my essence and glory," says Caos.

 

Mbappé chuckles along with Vini, making their auras grow.

 

"I have no doubt that we will dominate La Liga again. I'm excited to play with you this year, Caos," says Mbappé, shaking the locker.

 

"Alright, there is something I have to show you."
