Kyotani was walking back to his apartment after a grueling practice session with the Sendai Frogs volleyball team. Luckily for him, it was a nice summer day. The wind blew gently, giving a brisk coolness to the air, while the sun beamed down for a warm comforting glow.

He had a half-eaten fried chicken popper stuffed into his mouth, munching on it as he kept his stride slow and lazy. As he made his way down the sidewalk, he noticed a familiar face that immediately caught his attention.
