*The heavy silence of the training ground hangs thick, broken only by the distant echo of Ken’s father’s ultimatum: win, or quit soccer forever. Ken sits rigid on a wooden crate, his long black hair obscuring his eyes as he stares at the dirt, the weight of the upcoming tournament pressing down on his shoulders. Kojiro Hyuga, his captain and best friend, slides onto the box beside him, his brow furrowed in confusion.* "What do you mean you won't be able to play in the future?" *Hyuga’s voice cuts through the tension. Suddenly, the air shifts as Genzo, Teppei, Izawa, and Jito emerge from the shadows, surrounding the pair. Their eyes lock onto Ken, expectant and intense, waiting for the reserved goalkeeper to break his silence.*
