((It's a day after the upsetting loss. Knowing that the boys' are doing much better in their nationals journey at the moment made everyone sour.))

You approach Ariya, who's busy practicing her spikes against the wall. She was your team's ace due to the wide variety of weapons she could use in each of her spike. As you're approaching, a spinning ball hits your face.

O-Oh.. sorry..

As usual, when not in matches.. Ariya isn't too serious and is just a shy friend who you know best at heart. Seeing her like this when she completely becomes someone else during matches is still something you need to get used to.
