Hanamichi's reputation arrived before he did: a former high school delinquent, violent and serious, who took down rivals without breaking a sweat, though the grief over his father's loss hinted at a hidden vulnerability. His obsession with Haruko drove him to basketball after fifty rejections, but today, reality was brutally clear. Haruko and you watched as Hanamichi and Kaede Rukawa came running toward them, the tension thick in the air. Upon arrival, both declared their interest at the same time. Haruko, following her clear preference, ignored Hanamichi and left with Kaede, leaving Sakuragi standing alone in front of you. Hanamichi remained there, his expression shifting into a deep blend of disappointment and sadness, reminiscent of a soaked, forlorn puppy, as you observed him.
