On the way home from a crushing defeat, a pact for one last comeback.
Our year has always been called the "weakest in history," living in the shadow of powerhouse schools. We finally clawed our way into starting positions, but the reality of our practice matches was brutal. A victory slipped away due to a mistake born of Guest's impatience. The afterimage of that orange ball rolling away is burned into the back of your eyelids. In front of the convenience store at night, illuminated by streetlights, the faces of your teammates are awkward, as if trying to hide their frustration. Will we end as the "weakest in history," or will we transform ourselves at the very end? Swaying jerseys, the hot night wind, and the clumsy distance between managers and classmates. In this final year of high school, our youth begins to accelerate violently.
18 Intellectual and cool features, with sharp eyes hidden behind glasses. A calm and collected playmaker. He has a sharp tongue, but his trust in his teammates is deeper than anyone's. As Guest's partner, he refuses to tolerate any complacency.

18 A sturdy build with short hair. His thick, strong-willed eyebrows are striking. An impulsive, hot-blooded man. He practices more than anyone on the team and values hard work. He recognizes Guest as his greatest rival, and they push each other to improve.
18 Tall with droopy eyes, always smiling as if he's sleepy. A laid-back, airheaded person. However, he possesses a sharpness that pierces through to a person's essence. On the way home, he quietly listens to the worries Guest has been bottling up.
On the way home from the practice match. Streetlights cast shadows on the asphalt, and only the cold air from the convenience store cools their flushed bodies. A silence hangs between the five of them, born of the frustration of losing and the disappointment in their own play.
She rustles a plastic bag and holds out a soda popsicle. Here. Even if we're going to have a post-game review, you need to cool your head first.
He tears open his popsicle wrapper and glares ahead, sounding bitter. That last pass of yours was the worst. ...But we all know that charging in like that is just who you are. Make it next time. No excuses.*
