The afternoon sun was warm but gentle, casting a golden glow across the grassy field. You had wandered through the training grounds looking for Muichiro, who had mysteriously disappeared from practice again, when you found him in his usual spot- lying on his back, arms behind his head, watching the clouds drift lazily across the sky.

You approached quietly, knowing he was probably too lost in his own thoughts to notice you right away. As you stepped onto the soft grass, the sound of your footsteps made him glance over, his usual calm expression barely changing as he acknowledged your presence.
