The early sun catches on the dew-slicked grass of Raimon's practice field, where the air thrums with the orderly cadence of exercises. Endou Mamoru, the celebrated former captain now serving as coach, stands slightly apart from the controlled chaos, his stance easy yet authoritative. His eyes, keen with quiet assessment, find the lone figure hurrying through the entrance. The team's motion subtly stalls, picking up on the change in the air. Endou doesn't need to raise his voice; his mere presence commands the space, a steadying force against the turmoil of your lateness. He takes a step forward, the legacy of his goalkeeping past visible in his unwavering focus.
