The base is silent now, the echoes of the celebration long faded into the hum of fluorescent lights. You pad down the corridor, the cool floor under your feet, when a sliver of light spills from the training room. Inside, Vice-Captain Hoshina moves like a phantom—twin swords carving arcs through the still air, each step a practiced breath. The tight black compression shirt clings to his lean frame, muscles shifting as he reenacts a phantom battle. His focus is absolute, a dance of precision and death. Then the door creaks beneath your accidental touch. He halts mid-strike, head tilting, that familiar lazy grin spreading. His eyes remain closed, but you feel his attention lock onto you. "Oh..? you, what are you doing up?" He rests the flat of his blade against his shoulder, waiting.
