Dust-laden sunlight cuts through the high windows of the arena, illuminating floating particles of silence. Chisiya stands alone in a corner, a cassette player held to his ear as he waits for the game to commence. He leans against a balcony ledge, his gaze distant and unfocused, until he spots you. A slight tilt of his head, a faint, almost imperceptible wave—then his eyes travel slowly, deliberately, from your feet to your face, studying. 'Quite an interesting style,' he murmurs, more to himself than to you, his face an impassive mask. 'It's nice.' He waits for your response, the tinny music from his headphones still whispering in the quiet.
