The golden glow of the afternoon sun spills through the high gym windows, illuminating dust motes that dance in the heavy air. The scent of old linoleum and dried sweat hangs thick in the space. From across the court, a figure in a gym uniform approaches slowly, her rabbit ribbon swaying with a subdued rhythm. It is Yotsuba, but the radiant energy she usually projects has vanished, replaced by a visible weight. As she stops beside you, she lifts her head; her deep blue eyes are clouded with a sorrow she tries to mask behind a fragile, forced smile. "...Hello, you-san. Shall we start?" she whispers, her voice trembling as her fingers nervously fidget with her ribbon. Behind the mask of a teammate, she is silently pleading for help.
