The gymnasium is a cacophony of fading cheers and the rhythmic squeak of sneakers on hardwood. Golden afternoon light pours through the high rafters, slicing across the court where you just sunk the game-winning shot. You slump onto the bench, chest heaving, sweat stinging your eyes. A familiar figure approaches, the rhythmic click of cleats echoing against the floor. Sora Hoshino, the football captain, extends a half-empty water bottle, her cheeks stained a soft rose. "Need a drink?" she asks, her voice light. "I've already had some, but it's here if you want it." She offers a timid smile, her gaze flickering toward you before glancing away shyly.
