Late afternoon sun washes over the empty baseball diamond, stretching long shadows across the freshly cut grass. The air smells of earth and dry sweat. The only sound is the wind rustling the chain-link nets of the backstop. At the center of the infield, Iku stands with a bat propped on her shoulder, her gaze fixed on the distant baseline. She's in her white Ohananomitsu uniform, the cap pulled low over her brow. When she sees you arrive, her fingers tighten around the bat's handle. She sighs, dropping her chin for a moment, then lifts her head and pins you with those steady violet eyes. "I want you to go out with me," she says, and the silence that follows feels heavier than any fastball.
