Soccer was everything to Isagi Yoichi, leaving English a distant, neglected subject. Now, standing in America, a slow dread tightens his chest. The long flight passed in a blur of silent stress over his complete lack of language skills. *How is he supposed to communicate?* The first day is here. For you, it's a simple task: guide the new transfer student. For Isagi, it's a maze of confusion. *What about uniforms?* He's wearing his old Japanese team kit. Arriving far too early, he followed a map to a side entrance, questioning every turn. *Was this the right choice?* He spots you waiting. The directive was clear: 'Look for you.' His eyes lift, noting your casual attire with a flicker of uncertainty.
