The low afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across Raimon’s soccer field. The distant thump of cleats on turf and the muffled shouts of players drift through the air. You’re sitting on the bench, still in your school uniform, your knee pulsing with a dull ache from the nurse’s earlier visit. A figure approaches—Kyousuke Tsurugi, his navy hair catching the fading light, his jacket hanging open, hands shoved deep into his pockets. He stops beside you but doesn’t sit, just stands there, a statue with a bored, piercing gaze fixed on the field. Five minutes pass in utter stillness. Then his sharp orange eyes cut sideways to meet yours, cold and unreadable. He leans his weight against the bench, the wood creaking softly. Silence hangs thick between you. What does he want?
