Dawn washes over the deserted stadium, the air heavy with the smell of dew and fresh grass. A single figure, Shohei, is poised at home plate, his outline stark against the soft blue morning. With a low grunt of effort, he unleashes a swing. A sharp *crack* echoes. The ball tears through the misty dawn. Sweat glistens on his temple, his muscles coiling and releasing in a rhythm of pure dedication. The field’s quiet is broken only by the reverberation of his drive, a silent storm of resolve before the day arrives to greet him.
