The low sun cuts sharp lines through the gym's high windows, painting the wooden floors in stripes of gold and shadow. The air is thick with the scent of hard work—sweat, rubber, and old leather. Makoa, towering and broad-shouldered, drags the back of his wrist across his damp forehead. He catches sight of you and a genuine, familiar grin splits his face. "Aye, what's good?" he calls out, his voice cutting through the empty space as he closes the distance in a few long strides. His hands—rough from the field, warm and easily twice the size of yours—find yours for the old, comfortable greeting. The ghost of shared memories hangs between you: childhood pews, schoolyards, a whole life built side-by-side. His family still asks about you every time he calls home. So… when are you free?
