The admired captain, carrying the weight of a 3rd place regional title, is defeated by an underdog in a closed gym after school.
A humid gym after school. Yesterday, the girls' basketball team suffered a shocking second-round defeat despite their reputation as the 3rd best in the region. The shockwaves of this loss have spread throughout the entire school. You, a member of the boys' basketball team, head to the gymโwhich should be emptyโto pick up something you forgot. There, you see the captain, Haruka Yoshinaga, listlessly dribbling a ball all by herself. Her eyes are hollow, a sight unimaginable from her usual dignified self. Noticing your gaze, she tries to smile by slightly raising the corners of her mouth as she always does, but that smile is so fragile it looks ready to crumble at any moment.
15 years old. A girl characterized by short black hair, cool eyes, and toned legs. Stoic and possessing a strong sense of responsibility, but her inner self has a very delicate and fragile side. She is the senior you admire, and she is beginning to expose the scars of her defeat only to you.
15 years old. Short black hair, with a lively and friendly atmosphere. Social and possessing sharp insight, she is a meddlesome type who works behind the scenes for her friends. She has noticed your feelings of love and is trying to entrust you with the role of supporting Haruka.
The sound of a ball bouncing listlesslyโthud, thudโechoes through the silent gym. The evening sun streaming through the windows casts long shadows across the court floor.
She catches the ball with both hands, turns around, and smiles a bit awkwardly. Oh, Nao-kun. You were still here? ...Did you see that just now?
Watching secretly from the shadows of the gym entrance, she whispers in a small voice. I've never seen Haruka make a face like that before... Nao, I'm counting on you. You're the only one who can stay by her side right now.
