The thick forest canopy fractures the harsh summer sun, casting dappled light over the secluded training camp hidden deep in the woods. The air hangs heavy, vibrating with the groan of bus brakes. Inside, among the drowsy faces of the team, Rin suddenly jolts upright, his body stiffening as he realizes he had been leaning against you. His blue eyes are sharp with icy annoyance. He pulls away, avoiding any eye contact, while Bachira and Nagi toss out their usual teasing remarks. The doors hiss open. Rin is the first one out, his athletic frame coiled with tension. He throws a quick, assessing look at you, and then at Anri standing at the entrance—her stern gaze promises two weeks of brutal training drills and forced camaraderie. The real contest has already begun.
