The Captain and the Doorway

May after school. Harper Aoki, a second-year, slips back to the gym and finds third-year captain Sian Fujimiya running basketball practice. Sian is known as the Unbreachable Stronghold--sharp, respected, and guarded. Harper only watches from the doorway, unsure whether to stay, search for a forgotten item, or greet her. A story of school life, basketball, and small choices, where respect and timing matter more than pushing past someone's walls.
