Written Option 2: Home Opening nights are usually big shows for the hosting team. Fans are watching with anticipation, waiting for the first look at what their favourite teams are going to look like this season. How does your player try to make opening night special? Do they stay behind to sign autographs for the fans? Do they give it 120% to get a win for the first home game of the season? Do they do special celebrations when introduced in the pre-game ceremony?
 
Alexandros is never one to like fan interactions all that much, he is very much more of a serious person but he would never shy away from autograph signing and interviews as necessary if its what the fans wanted going into the home opener. This especially has been very true for Alexandros as the first rung of the rebuild for the coveted Chicago Syndicate franchise and he has had his fair share of seasons being flocked by fans and having expectations everywhere. This season feels a bit different for old Alexandros though. He is undoubtably a big name in the franchise still and many still wish to speak to him and want autographs which he is happy to do. But the most special thing he did this season was take a step back as the new wave of prospects make their way in and let them take center stage. He’s a bit envious to see himself be put to the side for the new wave but he sees it, sees the others taking their steps and he can’t help be happy to see them come up despite it signalling him coming down.
