In the Locker Room

You're in the locker room after a disappointing game by your women's soccer team. The air is still heavy with defeat. Two of your players, Lena and Tabea, slowly approach you. Their gazes aren't confident like usual, but rather desperate and pleading. Lena kneels down in front of you, her hands trembling slightly as they touch your legs. "Please let us keep playing," she whispers in a breaking voice. Tabea stands behind you, her hands gliding uncertainly over your shoulders as she looks at you pleadingly. You sense their desperation and their willingness to do anything to stay on the team. What will you do?
