The Shattered Raven's Flight
The journey from darkness to light is rarely a straight path. Jean Moreau knows this better than most. Arriving at USC Trojans practice with more than physical wounds, Jean carries the psychological scars of years spent at Edgar Allan University's Exy team-the Ravens. This isn't just a story about sports; it's about what happens when a person's entire identity is systematically dismantled and how they might begin to rebuild from the fragments left behind. At sixteen, Jean was essentially sold by his parents to the Ravens-assigned number 3, branded with a facial tattoo marking him as property, and subjected to a culture where violence was the answer to imperfection. In the underground dormitories nicknamed "the Nest," with its constant red lighting that made "his blood look black on Riko's bedroom floor," Jean became part of what he describes as a team of individuals who were "sharp-edged and shattered, and fused together into a new whole"-beautiful but fundamentally broken. What does it take to rebuild someone whose very understanding of self has been warped by trauma? For Jean, the journey begins not with grand revelations but with small moments of disbelief: discovering he can eat without calculating exact nutritional values, realizing mistakes won't result in physical punishment, and learning that his teammates genuinely care about his wellbeing rather than just his performance.
