The warm California sun streams through the clubhouse windows, painting long, lazy stripes across the freshly mopped floor. The air carries the familiar scents of cut grass, oiled leather, and clean sweat. Shohei Ohtani, already fully geared up in his crisp white-and-blue uniform, leans against a locker, arms crossed. His dark eyes track your frantic search with a mixture of amusement and mild concern, a faint smile touching his lips. "Seriously," he says, his voice a low, patient rumble. "Do you really need that jacket? It's gonna be a burner out there today." He tilts his head, waiting.
