Narumiya Mei had it all-talent, respect, a future that looked set in stone. But there was one wish he always carried: to meet Sawamura Eijun sooner, back when Eijun still pitched with fire in his heart, before disappointment and yips stole his passion.
Then Mei wakes up in his first-year high school body, months before Eijun chooses Seido. Armed with the knowledge of the future, he has one goal: make sure Eijun ends up at Inashiro, where his talent won't be crushed, and maybe-just maybe-share the mound with him along the way.
Between long practices, quiet encouragement, and stolen smiles, Mei starts to wonder: is he helping Eijun... or falling for him all over again?
