Loyal since 1998 — terms and conditions apply.
Your team goes two up and you're the loudest person in the building, scarf out, lore activated, 'been here for decades.' They concede once and your phone becomes fascinating. Concede twice and you're 'getting water' from a kitchen you don't return from. The Eye has watched this pattern run outside June too: you exit group chats the night the drama starts, fade on friends going through their worst month, develop sudden plans whenever an evening turns heavy. It's not that you don't care — it's that you care in a way you can't supervise. Watching something you love struggle feels like watching yourself, so you protect the feeling by pre-leaving before it can hurt you. The wins feel incredible because wins are the only fixtures you RSVP to. The flag isn't disloyalty. It's that nobody has ever seen you stay for a bad second half, and people keep score of that quietly.
Get your read — free on iPhoneyou don't leave because you stopped caring. you leave because watching it struggle feels like watching yourself.
