"Yeah," agrees Theo.

There is a buzzer and the players return to the sphere.

And Theo gets back to watching!

A minute in, Tidus scores a beautiful goal: there are two players plus the keeper between him and the goal, so he throws the ball at one of the players (much more strongly than he by rights should've been able to throw underwater), leaving them dazed; the ball bounces back towards him and he punches it towards the second player, dazing them as well; and the ball bounces up and out of the sphere, and Tidus himself follows it, spinning in the air and kicking it back inside and into the goal.

Nice and dramatic.

It is! And the crowd is going absolutely crazy.

Then: "Wakka! Wakka! Wakka!" starts chanting Kaede, all on his lonesome.

Theo decides to join in! Why not.

And soon other people start doing so, and then the entire audience starts calling for Wakka, too.

"The fans are getting impatient! They're calling for some action! Everyone seems to be calling for Wakka, folks!" says Bobba. The players inside the sphere stop playing to look around, and suddenly Tidus turns around and starts swimming towards the Aurochs' goal and out of the sphere. "Say... Where is that player going? He's leaving the sphere pool! He may be injured!" Bobba announces.

"– Do they have a medic of some kind, or should I just go?"

"I don't think he's actually injured."

"He doesn't look it but I don't know what other reasons he'd be leaving for, nor how likely they'd be, and the commentator suggested that one."

"Just wait for it..."

The players near the extended platform that connects to the end of the sphere via which Tidus left start yelling and clapping and calling Wakka's name again.

"I wonder what's happening? The crowd is going wild!" says Bobba.

… Presumably Tidus is going to fetch Wakka, actually.

Right. Duh.

Indeed! He's swimming back into the pool from the same place Tidus went to.

"Ah! It's Wakka! He's back on the field and ready to go! The Aurochs seem glad to have him back."

Duh.

Ugh.

And soon enough Lulu shows up where they are.

Theo looks at her and then turns back to the game!

How polite of him.

She takes a seat between Kimahri and Kaede and starts watching the game as well.

Kaede leans against her and rests his head on her shoulder.

D'aww. Ugh.

Yay a convenient Blitzball match to distract him.

And Wakka scores!

Woo! Cheering? Cheering!

Lots of cheering!

Then the other team scores.

Theo's not gonna boo. He'll just sit calmly.

This is actually sorta fun.

No one's booing! But not a lot of people are cheering.

And anyway the Aurochs are still ahead and the game ends and: "Unbelievable! The Aurochs win, folks! This is one for the record books!"
