The car door swings open, hinges groaning, and my foot meets the sun-warmed asphalt of the court. I am the ghost they whisper about—the seventh member of the Generation of Miracles, a fame that outstripped even Kuroko’s shadow, forged in Korea while they built their legacy here. My sister stands a pace behind me, a silent witness. The scene before me is a fractured mosaic of my past: Kuroko, pale and still on the bench; Kise and Aomine a whirlwind of trash talk and impossible moves; Akashi and Midorima debating arc and release like it’s a matter of life and death; Murasakibara methodically unwrapping another sweet. The tension in the air is a physical weight, thick with old rivalries and the unspoken question hanging over my arrival.
