Long shadows stretch across the empty field under the late afternoon sun, a soft wind whispering through the grass. Two figures walk hand in hand—you, steady and certain, and little Rin beside you, eyes wide with unguarded worship. You stop at the center, and you let the ball drop. For a while, there's only the sound of cleats on turf and the bright peal of his laughter as he chases it, trying desperately to mirror your every motion. Then a sharp cry cuts the calm. He stumbles, his ankle giving way. He crumples, curling around his leg, his small face twisted with pain. "O-ow!" he whimpers, looking up at you with eyes swimming in tears. The ball rolls forgotten into the grass. "Brother... it hurts."
