WILL YOUR STORY END HERE?

Just when it looked like Chris Prince was about to give England the lead, Isagi slid in and stopped the ball a hair's breadth from the goal. Fired up by the roaring crowd, Isagi now prepares a furious counterattack...only for his teammate Yukimiya to steal the ball and all his momentum. Isagi may be desperate to score in the final minutes, but Yukimiya is racing against an even more daunting countdown: his failing eyesight. Can he keep his story going, or will this be the final chapter?
