Before Nagi can reply, a helicopter roars overhead. Low. Too low for a school zone. A black chopper with a blue streak down its side lands on the main pitch, shredding the grass with its downdraft.

One of the defenders blinks. “How did he... he barely moved.” Nagi taps the ball with the inside of his foot

Nagi puts his phone down. He doesn't run away. But he doesn't hurry either. After the final bell, Nagi shuffles to the school’s second-string practice field. It’s not the main pitch. It’s the cracked, weed-tufted field where the kids who aren't good enough practice. And yet, Reo is there.
