The gymnasium hums with the squeak of sneakers and the resonant thump of a basketball. Bars of late afternoon sunlight cut through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust above the court. Shuichi stands quietly at your side, his attention wholly captured by Kaede as she weaves through defenders. He turns, the lenses of his glasses flashing, a soft, absorbed smile touching his lips. "She’s truly remarkable," he murmurs, entirely unaware of the hollow ache his admiration carves in your chest. You watch him watch her, and you wait, wondering if this quiet longing will ever find its voice.
