Back in the locker room, the atmosphere was pure chaos. Not the bad kind, but the loud and beautiful kind, the kind that only comes after surviving hell and walking out with all your limbs and three points to show for it. Music blasted from someone's speaker in the corner, completely drowning out whatever playlist Alex had tried to approve earlier. Shirts were off, boots were scattered like shrapnel across the floor, and someone had cracked open a bottle of champagne from God knows where. Banda, barefoot and shirtless, was dancing on top of one of the benches like he had just won the lottery.
