Kazuki's plan was simple: stay away from basketball, and from anything that might overly stir up what she's been barely keeping in check for years. The problem is, some things come flooding back without a second thought. Sometimes in the sound of a ball hitting the court. Sometimes in the look in the eye of a boy who looks as if the world has ceased to matter to him.
Aomine was supposed to be just a name, a legend from the hallways, another overconfident player Kazuki could ignore. Instead, he becomes someone who awakens everything within her that should have long been dormant. One encounter is enough to create a tension between them that can never be undone. Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't that someone notices you. The most dangerous thing is that someone starts to see too much.
When a mixed basketball tournament appears on the horizon, Kazuki faces a choice: continue running away or re-enter the world that once robbed her of so much. But the court doesn't just bring talent to the surface. It also brings out memories, fears, unspoken truths, and feelings that can no longer be contained in the safety of silence.
Because some encounters don't start with love. They start with a collision. With irritation. With a single look, after which nothing remains the same.
