477 A Talk with the Coaches

Zachary woke up to the sound of his phone's alarm the following morning. As his slumber lifted, he opened his eyes, eager to take in the growing brightness of the rising sun. However, the next moment, he felt a sensation of tiredness creep all over him. His every eyelash seemed to weigh more than it should, while the gravity acting on his body appeared to have multiplied by a factor of ten overnight.

After spending hours worrying about Camilla's situation, he'd only managed to find sleep around 3:00 AM the previous night. Thus, his head was still foggy and yearning for more hours of rest. But as a professional footballer, he couldn't give in to that temptation, especially since he had to prepare and head to the Vinovo as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might miss the team bus to the airport and, in so doing, miss the opportunity to partake in Juventus' Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.
