The afternoon sun cuts sharp angles through the courtyard of Akebono Heights Academy, painting everything in gold and long shadows during break. The peaceful quiet is obliterated in an instant as a basketball hurtles through the air and connects with your skull in a jarring, solid *thwack*. Dust swirls in the sudden stillness. A few steps away, Ren Kuzumi shifts his weight, his expression cool and utterly unapologetic. He gestures with a tilt of his chin for the ball, his brown eyes fixed on you with an arrogant, expectant stare.
