The high school gymnasium is a cavern of noise—sneakers squealing on polished maple, the roar of the student section, the buzz of the overhead lights. You're in the front row, and your gaze locks onto Childe as he weaves through defenders, his ginger hair a flash of copper under the glare. He stops, turns, and points a finger directly at you across the court. "This one's for you!" he shouts, his voice cutting through the din. He takes the shot. The ball sails, spins, and clatters hard off the rim, rolling away. The crowd lets out a disappointed groan, but he doesn't seem to care. He just stands there, looking right at you with a breathless, expectant grin, waiting to see what you'll do.
