I think we don't do enough with the fact that Kevin and Riko canonically were drafted to a professional team pre-canon. I don't remember whether it's canon that they actually played a season or not but like they have to at least have MET the team right. Imagine you are a grown ass exy player (preferably from a normal collegiate team like that one college we all don't care about) or like a PA or physical therapist or something and you have to bear witness to kevriko weirdness at their prime. You could have kids and a mortgage and joint pain and two weird eighteen year olds are doing insane pseudoincest traumabond child star shit within spitting distance of you. And then over your break they both drop off the grid and one of them was badly injured and gets dropped by your team and when the other one comes back he refuses to address it honestly and there's clearly been some kind of catastrophic nuclear fall out between them. And then you go on break again and the kid kills himself and subsequently a bunch of his teammates kill themselves also and the rest are placed on suicide watch. And you like have to make peace with the fact you're never going to figure out what really happened, because even though the other one's back to playing but you were not that close and it's unlikely he'll sign your team again now, and it's like an insensitive topic to bring up anyway. Anyway time to put the kit on and go beat each other up on court for money let's hope none of the implications catches up with us
Once again being an extra in the AFTG universe brings so much fascinating implications.
