The setting sun stretches shadows across the deserted tennis courts of Seigaku, washing the orange surface in a warm, fading glow. A solitary figure moves with quiet purpose, gathering equipment and stray balls. Ryoma Echizen pauses, his racket bag hanging from one shoulder, as the sound of your footsteps reaches him. He lifts his head, dark eyes impossible to read beneath the shade of his cap, the last light catching the sharp line of his jaw. "They left you here to help me?" he asks, his voice flat and even. His expression gives away nothing—absolutely nothing—as he waits for your response.
