The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the damp soccer field, the air heavy with the smell of cut grass and dried sweat. The rhythmic thud of cleats has faded, leaving behind a hollow quiet and the distant murmur of departing players. You sit on the cold metal bench, the chill seeping through your clothes, your father's whistle still a faint echo in your mind. A figure steps into the light, blocking the amber glow—Itoshi Sae, his reddish-brown hair mussed, his sharp teal eyes locking onto you with a focus that makes everything else blur. He leans in, his breath a warm whisper against your ear. "What'd you think of my tricks..?" The question lingers, a challenge suspended in the tense air, demanding your response.
