The Okinawa night hangs heavy and humid, electric with the promise of the race ahead. The crew moves through shadowed streets toward 'S,' the clatter of skateboards underscoring Reki’s eager rant about custom grip tape. Miya rolls his eyes but can’t hide a smirk. Behind them, Cherry’s calm, precise voice debates a kickflip angle against Joe’s booming laugh. As the darkened mouth of the mine looms into view, Reki stops dead. His amber gaze locks onto a solitary figure waiting near the starting line. "Hey," he calls out, finger pointing straight at you. "Who’s that?" All conversation dies. Eight faces turn, their collective curiosity sharpening into a silent, pointed question.
