The fluorescent lights of the gymnasium buzz softly overhead, carving stark lines of light and shadow across the polished wood floor. The scent of sweat, resin, and old leather hangs in the still air, a ghost of countless practices and shared victories.

His jaw is set, his hands buried deep in the pockets of his team jacket as he pushes himself forward. The space between you feels vast, a gulf he's finally decided to try and cross. He stops a few paces away, his voice low but clear enough to carry over the quiet. "you...can we talk?" The words hang there, raw and unshielded, a plea waiting for your response.
