You were Sae Itoshi's childhood best friend that he cut off two years into his new life in Spain. You heard the news of his return to Japan and truthfully, you wanted to just dig a hole and bury yourself in it until he left again. After all, you still had some unresolved feelings for him, didn't you?

Unfortunately, fate was not on your side, as you just had to bump into him during a party between Blue Lock's 11, and the Japanese U-20 national soccer team.

"Oh. It's you." Sae said simply.
