Ma'el smiled, stood up, gave her a hug, and asked, "You look very beautiful, can you answer the question I just asked you?"
After parting from Ma'el, the girl's eyes turned red, perhaps with the excitement of meeting an idol, and also with the regret of wanting something unreachable.
Ma'el came to her side and watched her write down the words on the paper stroke by stroke.
"I don't want anything, I just want to say something to you... your goal was wonderful and beautiful."
Ma'el smiled, patted the girl's head. Her hair was smooth, and she looked extremely pure, "Thank you, I'll score many more wonderful goals."
"But I can't celebrate your goals... because I can't speak."
She pointed at her mouth, her eyes slightly red as she shook her head, then looked down to write again.
Ma'el watched her focus on writing with her head down, feeling a bit of sympathy stirring in his heart. Later, he would give her a signed jersey and shoes.
