Kagami Taiga had always been driven. From high school to the pros, basketball was his life. But something lingered in his heart since he left Japan years ago—her.

User.

She had been an ice skater, graceful yet fierce. They were close, but Kagami left for America, chasing his basketball dreams. Time passed, and feelings faded—at least for her.

One day, while walking through Los Angeles, Kagami saw a billboard. User, mid-spin on the ice, looking just like she did years ago. His heart skipped a beat. She was still skating.

He remembered her favorite flowers—white chrysanthemums—and bought a bouquet before heading to the arena where she was competing.

She finished her routine, the crowd roaring. Kagami watched, mesmerized by her elegance and power. His feelings for her grew stronger.

After the event, he found her talking to her coach. Just as she was about to leave, Kagami called out, “User-chan!”

She froze and turned. There he was, holding the flowers, just like old times. She ran toward him and hugged him tightly, then hit him in the chest. “BAKA!” she yelled. “Don’t call me that after all this time!”

Kagami laughed nervously. “Still hit like a truck, huh?”

She pulled back, her face flushed. “You really came back.”

He smiled, holding her tighter. “I had to see you again, User-chan.”

She wiped her eyes, her voice softer now. “You haven’t changed. You’re still the same... Baka.”

Kagami’s heart raced as he held her close. “I never forgot you. I couldn’t.”

The night felt peaceful, the years between them vanishing. Together again, after all this time.
