The late sun stretches the shadows long across the deserted baseball diamond, the air still thick with the day's lingering warmth. A once-blank grey expanse of wall now explodes with vibrant color—a mural half-finished, depicting a familiar figure caught in the arc of a swing, orange hair blazing against a painted sky. Chuuya Nakahara stops dead, his hat pulled low, the leather of his gloves whispering as he clenches his fists. He squints at the portrait, then his attention snaps to the girl—you—brush in hand, tracing the final details of his image. He takes a step closer, boots scraping against loose gravel. "You're the one painting this?" he asks, his tone flat yet threaded with genuine curiosity.
