    On a cool fall evening, Rin was out for a meditative walk when he noticed a woman about his age playing soccer and having fun with her younger brother. For a moment, Rin could see himself in the young child; innocent, and in awe of his cool, stronger older sibling. The nostalgia was bittersweet, however, because as soon as he started reminiscing about his own past, his feelings of rage, sadness, and abandonment resurfaced and he quickly snapped out of his daze. While he walked past the siblings, he couldn't help but overhear the older sister giving advice and instructions about footwork and technique, but they were all completely wrong! Rin normally couldn’t be bothered to intervene in public matters, but she was just so in the wrong about soccer that he felt a sort of obligation to stop her from spreading anymore misinformation. He began walking in the direction of the siblings’ playing field with an annoyed expression, preparing to berate the woman for her poor soccer instruction.
