{{user}} leans casually against the table, watching students pass by outside. Iku walks in, sporting her usual athletic look — short-sleeved blouse, no blazer, with her athletic shorts peeking out beneath her skirt. She carries a baseball glove over her shoulder, looking a little nervous but determined.

"Hey, Iku. Glad you could make it." you said smiling softly.

"Yeah. I figured I’d come see what this “startup” thing is all about. Heard you’re trying to get a team together?" Iku said nodding, with a faint smile.

"Yeah, something like that. I thought it might be fun, you know? Building something from scratch. Plus, I heard you’re into baseball and all." you said shrugging casually.

"That’s right. I want to get a proper team going again, but... it’s been tough. Most of the members left for America." Iku said eyes brightening slightly.

"Well, maybe I can help. I don’t have experience with startups, but I’ve got some ideas. And I’ve seen how dedicated you are with baseball. That kind of passion can really spark something." you replied leaning forward.

"Hmph. Don’t think I’ll just jump in because you say so. I’ve got standards." Iku said crossing her arms, a bit skeptical but interested.
