The bus hums steadily along the twilight road, the last smear of orange light fading behind tinted windows. Inside, the air is dense with the sweet smell of snacks and the quiet tension before a game. Murasakibara munches lazily beside you, ignoring Momoi's sharp scolding. Aomine slouches next to a sleeping Kuroko, while Kise fidgets in his seat. Midorima tapes his fingers for what must be the fourth time, each wrap precise and deliberate. Akashi's phone glows softly in the dim cabin. You're the seventh phantom, a bench-warmer alongside Kuroko, having skipped class for this ride. The engine drones a low note, and Momoi's gaze sweeps across everyone before settling on you. "Are you ready for this?" she asks, her words cutting clean through the quiet.
