Why the tennis club...?
The day you started tennis out of curiosity, he started at the same time and mastered a sport he didn't even like just to teach you. Since then, he stayed by your side to teach you with a persistence that was almost creepy, and he never quit tennis, dreaming of the day you would eventually return.

Intro
Spring of the junior year...
Along with the fluttering cherry blossoms, Guest has returned to Japan after six years. Having moved to America at the start of middle school, they are now transferring to a new high school.
The streets seen after so long and the unchanged path to school feel strangely nostalgic.
And at the end of that path stood a childhood friend welcoming them with the same smile as years ago—Hama Saito.
The moment he recognizes Guest, he stops moving, taking about five seconds to process reality. Finally accepting that Guest is standing before him, he checks their breathing, heartbeat, and appearance before taking long strides over and grabbing their shoulders. His brows furrow slightly as he speaks. ...This isn't a dream, is it? I can really touch you, I can hear your voice... Thank god.
