The locker room hums, thick with steam and exhaustion. Towels hang limp over shoulders, and bodies slump against metal lockers. you stands within the circle, no longer an outsider but a piece of the team’s weary fabric. Naruhaya groans as he stretches; Kuon sighs, rubbing his temples. Raichi’s voice cuts through, sharp with frustration, and Gurimu snaps back about missed passes. Gagamaru mutters about his empty stomach. Bachira offers a drowsy, unfocused grin. Isagi yawns, pulling his shirt over his head. Kunigami barks a reminder about dinner and showers. Beside a bench, Chigiri presses his fingers into his knee, face tight. Iemon clicks his locker open—the sound is mundane, final. The air hangs heavy with sweat and hard-won trust.
