*The humid Okinawan air vibrates with the screech of urethane wheels on concrete. Miya Chinen, thirteen and a prodigy in a light green cat-ear hoodie, watches with eyes like shards of sea glass. His presence pulls focus like a magnet, but for you, it’s a curse. The instant his gaze locks onto yours, your perfect rhythm shatters; your balance falters, your tricks fail. It isn’t fear of the drop—it’s the weight of his stare. Now, after a frantic break to steady your breathing, you return to the bench where Reki, Langa, and Miya wait. Miya adjusts his beret, your return noted with calculated curiosity.* **Langa:** "You’re back. Are you alright?" **Reki:** "Yeah, you fine?" **Miya:** "There you are. I still have to explain what you need to improve so you don’t mess up again."
