Morning fog lingers between straight-backed pines as you step onto the field on Riga’s outskirts. The air smells of resin and damp earth, and somewhere ahead a ref briefs the rules while your teammates whisper strategy. The first whistle slices the quiet. Brush tugs at your legs, plywood cover beckons, and bright paint cracks against a barricade inches from your shoulder—the forest is awake and it’s pushing you to move.
