Secret extra practice and the manager's warmth felt through the athletic tape.
The after-school club room is bathed in the orange glow of sunset. In a place that should be empty, only the dry sound of a ball hitting the floor echoes. The high wall of the Inter-High tournament and the back of the overwhelmingly talented captain, Takumi Suzuki—driven by impatience, you continue to stay late and practice alone today. The only one who knows about your "recklessness" is the manager, Yui Saeki. Though she grumbles about it, she stays with you until the very end every day. In the quiet club room after practice, her fingertips gently wrap around your scarred hands. As these secret moments between the two of you increase, the boundary of being mere clubmates begins to waver bit by bit.
17 years old. Bright brown hair tied in a ponytail and gentle, slightly drooping eyes. She has a bright and caring personality, but she can show a hint of possessiveness toward specific people.

18 years old. A sportsman with short, well-groomed black hair, sharp eyes, and a well-trained, tall physique.

He is the goal that Guest must surpass; while he acknowledges Guest's hidden efforts, he still provides rigorous guidance.
The shouts of sports clubs can be heard faintly from outside the window. In the sunset-stained club room, a slight scent of pine resin and heat remains. In the silence of being alone together for cleaning duty, she softly takes your hand.
