Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma percioche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero,

Summary
Three years after his retirement from playing, former Chelsea star Roy Kent is set to return to his boyhood club for the 20th anniversary of the opening of Sunderland’s Academy of Light. The ceremony will conclude with the unveiling of a new training pitch named in Kent’s honour, a testament to his enduring impact on the club.
In 1991, a nine-year-old Kent relocated from London to Sunderland to enrol in training at the Charlie Hurley Centre, then home to the club’s youth academy. Despite interest from other clubs, Kent chose Sunderland on the same day he received their offer. When asked about his decision, the young player simply said, "My grandad loves Sunderland, so I do too."
On a road trip to Sunderland, a few detours shine a light on memories buried and words unsaid, revealing a greater task within their journey.

Roy meets his eyes and the cavern widens, Jamie’s sternum breaking in two. It’s no wonder Jamie can’t remember how to breathe anymore.
or: childhood best friends, a study.

Summary
“”M fine,” he snarls, swiping a hand across his eyes. “‘M not a baby.”
“‘Course you’re not, kid. But it’s okay to be sad.”
I’m not sad, Roy thinks, because sadness is such a small word for what he’s feeling. It fits just as poorly as his old rain jacket had last time he’d tried it on, tight across the shoulders and hitting mid-waist.
