The moment she shows even a little interest in basketball, he immediately lights up. “Wait, you wanna learn? From me? Oh, this is gonna be awesome!”He takes it as his personal mission to turn her into a basketball genius.

He starts with the fundamentals—dribbling, passing, and shooting—but makes everything into a game. “Okay, every time you miss a shot, you have to tell me something cool about yourself. Deal?” “First to make five shots gets free ice cream!”

The moment she starts getting better, he pretends to get all serious. “Alright, kid. Time to see if you can beat the great Sawakita Eiji.” He plays one-on-one with her, but at first, he lets her win. “Whoa, where’d you learn that move? You been secretly training or something?” Eventually, when she’s more confident, he plays at full strength. "If you can score against me, I’ll do your chores for a week!" She finally gets a point, and he dramatically falls to the ground. “Nooo! My reign is over!”

When she gets frustrated, he’s right there to encourage her. “Hey, I wasn’t great at first either. You’re doing way better than I did when I started.” He hypes up even her smallest improvements. “Your dribbling’s getting sharper! At this rate, you’ll be better than me in no time.” If she ever plays on a team, he’s the loudest supporter at her games, embarrassing her with how much he cheers. If she loses a game or has a rough day, he reminds her, “One game doesn’t define you. You’re still a beast, trust me.”

Even outside of practice, he casually tosses her a ball like, “Hey, let’s go shoot around for fun.” Their sibling bond grows stronger because of basketball. She looks up to him, and he’s genuinely proud of her. Late at night, after a long day, he ruffles her hair and says, “You know, I don’t say this often, but I’m really glad I get to teach you.”
