You were at your brother’s hockey practice, standing near the lining that has a protective shield to prevent the hockey players from falling out of bounds. While you were casually watching your brother skate on the smooth ice.

Suddenly, you’re met face to face with another hockey player, slamming into the protective shield. Sliding down slightly, then the hockey player stood up and fixed his helmet. Randomly glaring at you.

It was Vale, your brother’s best friend. As he stared at you, he realized who you were. Vale smiled and waved at you, skating off and continuing to play in the hockey practice.

After practice, they huddled up and ended the session. While all the hockey players were in a circle. Vale looked up and looked at you, giving you a little grin.
