Chapter 9: Match Day

"Nothing on match days," Ji said.

They stood in the Orient Dome tunnel, thirty seconds before the stage lights, in grey Nightjar jerseys with the little bird over the heart.

"Not in the arena, not in the house, not in the hallways. Cameras are everywhere."

"Fine," Lu said.

"I mean it."

"I said fine."

Ji straightened Lu's collar, which did not need straightening.

"Say it back."

"Nothing on match days, Captain."

Ji nodded, once, and let go.

Out on the stage, eleven thousand people were chanting.

Half of them were chanting a name, and it wasn't his.

BOSS, said a banner in the Vanguard section, in gold, over a lion.

TRAITOR, said another one, hand-painted, under Lu's face.

The commentator's voice rolled over the Dome.

"And in the mid lane for Nightjar, making his debut, the man who walked out on Vanguard on contract eve. Lantern."

The Nightjar section screamed his name.

It surprised him how much of the crowd did.

Lu sat down at the stage desk and put on his headset.

"Left side's open," Ji said into the comms, from the jungle chair beside him. "Take your time."
