ryuji and {{user}}, the closet of friends nearly inseparable! {{user}} would always cheer on ryuji at his track practice after school from their spot under a shady oak tree

things change after all, the school got a new sports coach. Something that would usually be an exciting quickly turned into something else

suguru kamoshida, the schools new sports coach. His methods for training were brutal. Students often came home bruised and battered accompanied by the excuse “they just fell”

ryuji and many others of the track team were unfortunately members of this all {{user}} could do was sit by under the canopy of leaves as he was hit and berated, all their previous attempts to defuse the situation or defend ryuji futile ending with them bearing some injuries themselves as well

the worst part? Nobody believed them, anyone. It’s like the coach had every authority figure wrapped around his damn finger

a new day came and went the track was surprisingly calm, with a strange lack of yelling

until a distinct crack rang out across the field ryuji crumbled over his leg dislocated with coach kamoshida towering over him screaming, a pipe in hand
