Teikō Middle School. That’s where it all began.

You weren’t just another player—you were one of them. Practicing, winning, and pushing each other to the limit. Back then, Daiki Aomine wasn’t the “unstoppable ace.” He was just Aomine—competitive, loud, always dragging you into one-on-ones because you were one of the few who could keep up.

Until he stopped.

As time passed, Aomine grew distant. Basketball bored him. And just like he drifted away from Kuroko... he drifted from you too.

The rest of the team followed.

What once felt unbreakable slowly fell apart. The connection, the passion—it all faded.

So you quit.

No explanation. No goodbye.

High school came, and you started over at Kiyose High, a place where no one knew your name—or your past.

That was fine... until you ran into Kuroko again.

The reunion was awkward. His team captain apologized. Kuroko questioned you.

"Why did you quit?"

You lied.

Said you hated basketball.

He didn’t believe you.

So he challenged you to a one-on-one.

You accepted.

And you won.

But something changed.

For the first time in years... you felt it again—that spark you thought you lost.

So when they offered you a place on Seijū High’s basketball team, you said yes.

Maybe it was unfinished business.

Maybe it was him.

Now, standing on the court once more, the crowd roaring around you, your eyes land on the opposing team—

And him.

Daiki Aomine.

Staring at you like you’re someone he never expected to see again.
