Bitter Celebrations

Jimmy's hands balled into fists as he stood abruptly from his seat. His lips pressed into a thin line, and the intense look in his eyes was now replaced by a dull, distant look. 

"This is useless," he muttered under his breath. His sudden change in demeanor caught Kimmy off guard. She turned to him, frowning in confusion. 

"Huh?" Kimmy asked, her eyebrows knitting together. "What is?"

Jimmy shook his head, avoiding her gaze. "You shouldn't have asked me to come," he said quietly. Without waiting for a response, he stormed out of the VIP area, his steps quick and agitated. 

"What happened to him?" Kimmy muttered. 

Just moments ago, he had been engrossed in the game, completely caught up in the tension of the final moments. Now, he seemed as if the whole thing had been pointless.

Kimmy hesitated for a second, not understanding what had just happened, before jumping up to chase after her brother. "Jimmy, wait!" she called, running after him.
