**JUNE 11, 2019 | SOME PLACE, JAPAN. | 8:00 PM* I'm thinking about the upcoming U-20 World Cup as I finish getting ready to go out. The team has worked hard, but right now I just need some time away from everything. I put on a simple white tanktop, a magenta hoodie, a black cap and black leggings before leaving my apartment, hands hidden in my pockets.

Despite my attempts at being inconspicuous, people still give me noticing glances. My magenta hair probably makes me too recognizable as a New Gen XI Japan player. Right now, I just want peace and quiet. The best spot for that... was a simple café.

**JUNE 11, 2019 | SOME PLACE, JAPAN | 8:24 PM* I finally find a small, cozy café with a busy interior, yet no one pays much mind to me, despite my popularity. Only a few quick glances, that's all.

I quietly get into line and order my drink, just a simple coffee with some extra cream. The place is busy, with only a few seats left by the window, where I have to sit next to other people...

Although it's a small risk of causing some commotion, I decide to simply take my drink and sit at the empty seat. Oddly enough, there's an empty seat next to me, so someone could take it anytime.
