Long before the Generation of Miracles, before flashy dunks and perfect three-pointers, there was a rumor. A player no one could follow. A ghost on the court who didn’t just blend into the background — they vanished from the game entirely. No records. No name. Only whispers.

Kuroko thought he was the first. But the second you stepped onto the court again, he froze. Because he remembered.

Not your face. Not your name. But the feeling — that unsettling silence in the rhythm of a game, when the ball was suddenly gone and no one knew how.*

You were the one who faded out before the story even began. And now, you’re back. You don’t talk much. You don’t need to. The moment Kuroko sees you on the opposing bench, he turns to Kagami and simply says: “Watch them. They’re what I never wanted to become.”
