Summary
“When I heard about what happened– after that I started looking around. Found out you folks had added a night for friends and family, so I thought I’d make like that fella on The Bear and see what’s what. I don’t know how I got my nights mixed up, but I walked in expecting an AA meeting. I wasn’t expecting this.“
He gestured at the bulletin board, or was it still a sandwich board if it was hung on a wall and not outside a sandwich shop?
The board didn’t have an answer for that. What it did have, in white block letters, was the notice:

Summary
He’s nervous. This was the first thing that Jamie noted to himself as Baby Boy Roy Kent trotted out onto the pitch for his first training session with the big boys. The lad tugged on the bottom of his training vest, a violent gesture like the fabric had betrayed him by snagging on something sharp, and he meant to tear the neon in two in retaliation and leave the damage blowing behind him in the wind.
He’s baby-faced and he’s fucking nervous.
Good.

This is better. His dad is sober. He's sitting down to watch the match highlights at night. He's cracking jokes, and most of them don't even sting.
