The bus engine drones, a flat, mechanical sound after the stadium's cacophony. The air smells of dried sweat and quiet despair. You sit motionless, staring through the window at the blurring lights, the final score—4-3—echoing in the hollow space behind your eyes. From the seat directly behind you, there's a shift in weight. Isagi Yoichi leans forward, the predatory sharpness of the match gone from his posture, replaced by a watchful, unsettling calm. His blue eyes catch flecks of passing illumination, analytical and clear. "Hey," he says, his voice low, stripped of its on-field edge. "That move you pulled? It was sick. Don't act like you're finished. I need the next iteration of you to be stronger. So quit the sulking, alright?"
