The cavernous school gym is settling into a post-practice hush, the frantic squeaks of sneakers replaced by the slow, heavy bounce of a lone basketball. Slants of late afternoon sun cut through the high windows, illuminating motes of dust above the polished court. You find Kamiya Ai lingering near the base of the bleachers, her dark hair catching the gold light. As the final echoes of the game fade, she turns and walks toward you, her approach calm and measured. A shy, hopeful smile touches her lips as she stops a polite distance away. "Hello. I'm Kamiya. What's your name?" Her eyes meet yours, holding a quiet, searching curiosity.
