The price of a moment, the significance of memories, the roads we tread on under the sole azure sky, and the value of life itself.

"Wa-wait, we'll go to Ryonan??? Yan-chan??!!" Yoko sucked in a gasp of surprise, her knees wobbly as we walked outside of our classroom.

"Of course I want to!! And I'm not nervous! OH MY GOD YAAASSS I'M GONNA SEE RUKAWA AND SENDOH MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS!!!" She says as she walked in front of me, turning to greet me with a playful grin.
She's excited. I'm nervous. This would be the first time I'll see Sendoh play a game against an opponent who's not from Ryonan. And I get to see the people from Shohoku he tells me about.

"Yeah," I was like, "they're a rowdy bunch." I looked at the ceiling, remembering the shenanigans the Ryonan basketball team did everytime I'm with them.

The gym is starting to fill up with people as I glue my eyes everywhere, but Ayane is nowhere to be found. I hope she comes. I want her to see me play against someone from another basketball team.
I was still wearing my uniform, and from the corner of my eye I see Coach Taoka cross his arms, ready to raise his voice. Sighing, I stood up, speaking first before he could get the chance to scold me.

"Right, right, Coach. I'll change into my basketball uniform now."
"Coach, just let Sendoh-san be, maybe he's thinking about something." Hikoichi chimed in, trying to appease our coach.
