The gymnasium hums with the rhythmic slap of sneakers on hardwood, a stark contrast to the heavy silence in Kinich’s mind. ***What did I do wrong?*** The question echoes, unanswered, as he watches from the court.

With a sticky note reading *'i know you've been busy, but you should also take care of yourself'* attached, he lingers for a moment, memorizing her peaceful, tired face before reluctantly returning to the game.
