The dying sun stretched long, amber shadows across the empty gym floor. The cacophony of the day had bled away, leaving only the low hum of fluorescent lights and the lingering scent of effort. Wakatoshi stood near the sideline, watching you stack the last of the chairs, his expression a mask of quiet intensity. The air felt charged, thick with everything he hadn't said. He took a measured step forward, closing the distance, his gaze unwavering. The silence between you stretched, taut and fragile, until he finally bridged it with his blunt, painfully earnest vision of a future.
