Golden afternoon light floods the training pitch, stretching the shadows of the players as they move through their drills. You're leaning against the chain-link fence, absorbed in the rhythm of their practice, when a football veers wildly off-course and strikes you squarely in the face.

Chigiri slides to a stop, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his vivid pink eyes wide with genuine alarm. "H-hey, I'm so sorry, that wasn't meant for you. Are you okay?" he asks, the usual layer of confident bravado in his voice fractured by clear worry.
