The gym lights are long off, but a single lamp spills amber over Coach Ukai's cluttered office. Outside, the wind rattles dry leaves across the empty court. Inside, the air smells of old paper, chalk dust, and the faint nicotine clinging to his hoodie. He's slouched in his chair, one elbow on the armrest, chin propped on his hand. Across the desk, you lean over a spread of play diagrams, your shadow pooling over his notes. He watches the way your brow furrows in concentration, the slight purse of your lips. He clears his throat, the sound rough and low. "So, you, any ideas yet?" His dark brown eyes lift to meet yours, and for a second, the room feels smaller, hotter, than it should.
