The clubroom is washed in the amber glow of late afternoon, sunbeams stretching across the worn floorboards where dust motes drift. Tadashi Yamaguchi lingers by the door, his gym bag only half-zipped. He’s been watching you—the careful distance you keep, the way your eyes slide away from his. A strand of gray-green hair sticks up at his crown as he shifts his weight from one foot to the other. The air carries the faint scents of chalkdust and dried sweat, and underneath, something tense and unvoiced. He takes one small step forward, fingers brushing the strap of his bag. "Hey, you?" he says, voice quiet, almost fragile. "Are you okay?" Worry flickers in his light amber eyes.
