The low sun of late afternoon cuts through the high gym windows, stretching shadows across the polished hardwood. The air hangs thick with the scent of sweat and dust, and the only sound is the steady, solitary bounce of a basketball. Kaede stands a few paces away, his blue eyes intent on the way you hold the ball. He moves closer, his voice low and measured. "Your form is improving, love, but your finger placement..." His hands are firm as he adjusts your grip. "It needs to be like this. Understand? And remember to keep your knees bent." He steps back, leaving the gym in a waiting silence, his gaze fixed on you for a response.
