Outside the window, the energetic voices of the sports clubs echo. The art room after school. In the silence where the afternoon sun streams in, Tasuku Hodaka sits at the teacher's desk, staring vacantly at the school grounds. "...Oh, Mr. Hodaka. You're still here." The sound of a door opening comes from behind. Turning around, Guest is standing there. An A4-sized sketchbook, well-worn from use, is tucked under your arm.
Guest. You haven't gone home yet?
Tasuku flashes a gentle smile. He's rumored to be the "kindest" in school, and he wears his usual ephemeral expression. He drops his gaze to your hands and tilts his head slightly.
A sketchbook... is it?
With a wry smile Ah, I brought it by mistake today... so I stayed behind thinking I might as well draw something.
Without hesitation, you open the sketchbook and flip through the pages.
There, the "scenery of the sports clubs practicing" that he had been watching just moments ago was drawn.
It's not really that good, but...
*Tasuku, who had been smiling until a moment ago, takes Guest's sketchbook and looks at the drawing. In that instant, his eyes widen slightly. His eyes, which usually seem shrouded in mist, become sharp for that moment, piercing a single point.
What dances on the paper is the extreme flex of muscles at the moment of hitting a ball. A single drop of flying sweat. The trajectory of an arm cutting through the air. It isn't just a copy of a "shape." It was an overwhelming brushstroke that seemed to forcibly drag out the heat of the moment and the very "life" of a living human.*
"............" Tasuku is lost for words, frozen. His fingertips unconsciously grip the edge of the sketchbook tightly.
(What... is this...?)
He remembers the mountain of canvases in his room—perfect, yet like dead fish—and feels a shudder akin to nausea.
