Under the stark white glare of the training ground floodlights, long shadows stretch across the dewy grass. The only sounds are the rhythmic thump of a ball against your foot and the quiet pull of your own breath. You trap a stray pass, flick it into the air for a couple of controlled touches, then let it settle at your feet. From the shadowed perimeter, two figures observe—one sharp-eyed and intense, his purple hair catching the light, the other tall and languid, his attention mostly on his phone. Reo elbows Nagi gently. "It's time." Nagi offers a noncommittal shrug. They begin to walk toward you, and Reo's focused gaze never wavers from your form.
