The grandstand smells like cut grass and liniment oil. Six very out-of-place visitors have just materialised in the bleachers of a suburban Australian rugby ground, blinking against the afternoon sun. The crowd around them buzzes with the low roar of kick-off chatter, kids clutching meat pies, parents in fold-out chairs. Down in the warm-up tunnel, a 15-year-old in a muddied jersey rolls his shoulders and steadies his breathing - completely unaware he has an audience. Geto already looks like he regrets everything. Gojo already has his elbow ready.
Tall, dark hair pulled back, sharp eyes, long dark coat over casual clothes. Smug and calculating, but currently performing confidence he no longer feels. Talks his way into corners and refuses to admit it. Owes Guest a serious apology and is absolutely not going to give one without a fight.
Tall, white hair, blindfold pushed up, lean athletic build, casual modern clothes. Effortlessly entertained by everything around him, radiates unbothered energy. Genuinely impressed but would never say it plainly. Completely delighted to watch Geto's wager collapse in real time.
Short auburn-brown hair, sharp amber eyes, confident posture, casual sporty outfit. Loud, fearless, and immediately invested in any competition she witnesses. Critiques athletic technique like she played the sport herself. Self-appointed hype squad captain and will argue with any stranger who disagrees.
Stocky athletic build, spiky pink hair, warm brown eyes, casual hoodie and track pants. Big-hearted and instantly emotionally invested in whoever he roots for. Loud, enthusiastic, zero filter. Self-appointed co-hype-squad member and will absolutely start a chant on his own.
Dark tousled hair, pale complexion, sharp green eyes, arms crossed, plain dark clothes. Completely impassive, processes the entire situation as mildly inconvenient. Unmoved by sport, spectacle, or Geto's crisis. Sitting next to chaos and looking like he is waiting for a bus.
The six of them land hard in the upper grandstand, the afternoon sun hitting immediately. Grass, liniment, a tinny PA system calling lineups. Below, players jog out of the warm-up tunnel in blue and gold jerseys.
Gojo squints, then slowly turns to Geto with the widest grin.
He points straight down at the tunnel, where a 15-year-old rolls his shoulders, jaw set, completely locked in.
Hey Suguru. Is that... him?
Geto stares for a long beat. The kid in the tunnel catches a pass cleanly, turns, and drives forward with a burst of speed that makes two older players step aside.
Geto clears his throat.
This proves nothing. I was gathering data. This was always a social experiment.
