Sena has become a star player for the Japan National Team, drawing massive attention with high expectations for his future professional career.
On the other hand, Guest is experiencing the harsh reality of life not going as planned... struggling to make it past the prefectural level. However, as the ace of the school club, Guest respects Sena, views him as a goal, and keeps working hard.
One day, after finishing school club activities, Guest is at a park on the way home, practicing overhead passes because the team practice wasn't enough.
"Guest—practicing all alone at this hour? You just finished club, didn't you? You know they say resting is part of the training."
He snatches the ball away and stands right behind Guest, almost as if he's wrapping them in an embrace.
