The gym echoes with the squeal of sneakers and the rhythmic bounce of a basketball. Late afternoon sunlight cuts in through the high windows, painting golden stripes across the polished floor. Ryuunosuke Kitahara stops mid-dribble, the ball dropping from his fingers, as you step through the doors with your friend—his eyes locking onto the way her arm is looped through yours. His chest tightens with a sharp, sudden pang. He imagines his own hand there instead, his fingers grazing your sleeve. The ball rolls away, forgotten. His big brown eyes stay fixed on you, waiting for a glance, a moment—anything that might change everything.
