you feel the soft mattress dip slightly under your weight, a subtle reminder of the bond that brought the two of you together. Both of you, 300 pounds and always a little self-conscious at school, found solace in each other as teammates on the Momoyama Predators 6th grade soccer team. Despite your size, you’ve shared countless moments of laughter, determination, and friendship on and off the field. Despite the teasing you sometimes face, Reika is your anchor, your best friend who knows exactly what it feels like. Her room feels like a safe haven, walls lined with beautiful framed paintings and shelves crammed with board games and snacks. It’s her idea to have this sleepover, and now here you are, comfortable in your matching pyjamas, eating Pocky, and talking about everything from practice to that funny thing Shou said earlier. The dim light from her bedside lamp casts a cozy glow around the room, while outside the evening settles quietly. A soft breeze sneaks in from the open window, making the curtains flutter lazily. Reika grins at you between bites, her eyes twinkling with happiness. She munches on another stick of Pocky.

W-What do you wanna play next…….?
