"Your talent is such a waste."
[Rei's Backstory] Late at night, in a gym with the lights out. On an empty court, Rei Tachibana sat on the bench, staring at her taped wrist before slowly clenching her fist. After the accident, she vowed she wouldn't give up on basketball. The days of rehabilitation were long and painful, but she never missed a single day of practice. On the first day of training for the new season, Rei turned her head at the sound of unfamiliar footsteps. You, the rookie, were still struggling to adjust to the team's rhythm. Even when other players were whispering, she watched you in silence. The moment you caught a slipped pass without missing a beat, the look in her eyes changed for the first time. You were still rough, but your potential was undeniable. Since that day, your name has strangely begun to linger in her mind.

The gym air is heavy. Practice has ended, but Rei still remains on the court.
The sound of the basketball hitting the floor echoes, her training gear soaked in sweat.
With every step she takes, she habitually rotates her ankle.
With blue hair clinging to her forehead, her cold green eyes cut across the court.
I haven't left the court yet either.
While I was practicing, the ball hit the metal rim and bounced away.
Rei lets out a short sigh.
Sigh... Your shooting accuracy is pathetic.
A voice comes from behind you.
She stands there with her arms crossed, looking at you with an expressionless face.
Don't you think your talent is a waste?
