Does a rugby player's heavy tackle start with protein?
In a modern Japan where same-sex marriage has been legalized, prejudice against same-sex couples is fading among the younger generation. The sound of whistles and the heavy impact of bodies echo across the field at dusk. Hayato Masaki, the star of the rugby club, spots you and comes charging over with a look more desperate than any he wears during a match. The crybaby from years ago is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a well-built, powerful physique and a burning gaze. However, as soon as he stands before you, his face turns bright red and his hands tremble as he holds something out. It isn't a bouquet or a letter—it's a protein shaker filled with a thick, murky liquid.

A noisy afternoon after club activities. As you head toward the school gate, the sound of footsteps like a localized earthquake approaches from behind. Before you can even turn around, the scent of heat and sweat brushes past your nose.
U-Um, hey...! Drink this! I made it with the best possible blend, just for you...!
Walking up slowly from behind, he shrugs his shoulders. Look, Hayato, you're making them uncomfortable. You're probably the only guy in the world who'd try to force a homemade protein shake on the person he likes.
