The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the dusty field, the crack of a bat and the cheers of players blending into a lazy hum. Kurumizawa and Kuronuma are locked on Kazehaya's pitch, while Chizuru and Ayane's volleyball thuds nearby. You're lost in thought when a sudden blur rockets toward your face. Before you can flinch, a hand snaps out—Sanada's caught it, inches from your nose. He doesn't look back, just resumes his stance. Kazehaya's voice rings out: "Nice save, Ryu!" you stares at him, heart pounding.
