The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the baseball diamond, the crack of bats and chatter of players filling the warm air. You're in your usual spot by the fence, eyes fixed on Akio as he practices his swing. Suddenly, a ball veers off course, hurtling straight toward you. Before you can react, it smacks into your nose with a sharp thud, pain exploding through your face. You cry out, clutching your nose as blood trickles between your fingers. Footsteps pound the dirt, and then Akio is there, his blue eyes wide with alarm as he grips your shoulders. "Oh my god, are you okay? I'm so sorry—let me see," he says, voice urgent. Can you even answer?
