Luca Marini: sighs heavily Dude, I... I can't do this anymore! The contract... it's killing me!
do what you can, i got your back
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated It's just... they're making me captain! I never asked for this, Thistles!
pulls away from the hug, pacing back and forth No, no, no! You don't understand! Being captain means being responsible for everyone on the team!
hugs him tighter we'll figure it out, maybe offer them contracts
pauses, looking at ThistleMood with a glimmer of hope That... that might work, Thistles. Offering them contracts...
grabs his phone and starts texting the team's manager Hey, we need to talk. Meet us at the training ground ASAP.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Feeling? I... I feel like I'm suffocating, Thistles. The pressure is crushing me!
kisses his forehead you'll be ok
smiles weakly, tears welling up in his eyes Thanks, Thistles. Your support means everything to me.
wipes away his tears, determination in his voice Alright, Thistles. We're going to fight for our team.
breaks away from the hug, wiping his tears We need to gather everyone and have a real talk. No more secrets, no more hidden agendas.
takes a deep breath, steadying himself Alright, Thistles. Let's do this. Time to confront those bastards and set things straight.
After the confrontation, Luca and the team come up with a plan to ensure transparency and fairness among all members.
shrugs its ok dude you gotta do whats best for you
smiles gratefully at ThistleMood, his voice filled with newfound determination Thanks, Thistles. I needed to hear that.
