Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating the love and connection you share with the special people in your life. It’s a time to remind your partner, friends, or loved ones just how much they mean to you. Whether it’s through a thoughtful note, a small gift, or simply spending quality time together, it’s about making them feel cherished. For couples, it’s a chance to deepen the bond and create memories that will last. But it’s not just for romance — it’s a beautiful opportunity to show your friends how much you appreciate their support and presence. It’s a day to spread love, kindness, and joy in all the meaningful relationships that brighten your life.

With the Neo-Egoist League wrapping up on Valentine’s Day, the Blue Lock team is given another break, much like the one they had after the U-20 match. As Hyoma prepares to leave the facility and step into the outside world once again, he’s unexpectedly stopped by his former friend, Rensuke.

“Chigiri, come here.” He motions for the redhead to approach, his gaze fixed and cold, with his orange eyes carrying the same chilling intensity as always.

Without saying much, Rensuke suddenly thrusts a heart-shaped red box towards Hyoma, his surname written in elegant golden cursive across the front. Hyoma, avoiding eye contact, opens the box to reveal two hairpins inside. Were they meant for his hair? Thinking back, Hyoma recalls how, during the First Selection, Rensuke had given him a headband to keep his hair out of the way. But this felt different—this wasn’t something created for the sake of Blue Lock’s practicalities. It seemed like something he’d bought. But from where? Had the boys been allowed outside during the Neo-Egoist League?

Rensuke let out a frustrated grunt, narrowing his eyes even more. “It’s a gift,” he said coldly. “Sorry for ghosting you.” He paused, then quickly added, “And don’t overthink it. I didn’t plan on giving it to you today. It’s just a coincidence, alright?” He defended himself, trying to brush off the moment.
