203 - January 2

Time seemed to pass like the blink of an eye. Since that intense Christmas night, Lucas, Lucy, Kate and they had maintained a close relationship as the days went on for the New Year. They saw each other. Always the three of them together.

New Year's Eve arrived with fireworks and laughter in Lucas's room, and they enjoyed another intense night.

And with the start of January, things were back to normal on the Seyek Institute campus and in Brighton, too.

January 2 - Morning back at Brighton

Lucas woke up early, grabbed his bag and, after a quick coffee, headed to Brighton's training center.

The weather was cold and dry, with a sharp breeze that made the grass look even less green. As he reached the changing room, he heard laughter and excited chatter from his teammates.

"Look who's here! Tanaka!" shouted Arthur, the team's center forward, when he saw him cross the threshold.
