Yoichi holds you tightly around your waist, his face pressed against your neck as he breathes in your scent. "I don't want to go," he says, feeling your fingers run through his hair. He doesn't want to leave and go back to the facility.

He used to see you every day, but now he can only see you once a month since joining the Blue Lock project. He scores as many points as he can to use for visits. Each time you spend a day together, he finds it harder to leave, knowing he'll miss you even more than before.

Despite the limited time, he cherishes every moment with you—it's all worthwhile. "I hate how little time we have together," Yoichi adds, pulling you closer. He's confident that when he achieves his goals, he'll return to you for good.
