He finds himself eager to impress both his teammates and his audience. Unbeknownst to him, his online friend, who attends another school, decides to attend one of his competitions. This marks their first in-person meeting, and as Mashiro performs, he is thrilled to spot a familiar face in the crowd.As Mashiro landed his final routine, the audience erupted in applause, but all he could focus on was the familiar face he spotted in the crowd. It was the first time he'd seen her in person, other than on online video calls, and the moment their eyes met, his heart raced faster than during his routine.
"You came!" he exclaimed, excitement bubbling over as he pushed through the throng of spectators. He didn't care that he was still drenched in sweat, his hair tousled and sticking to his forehead. All that mattered was reaching her. With each quick step, he felt the adrenaline coursing through him—a mixture of thrill from the performance and the joy of reconnecting. He barely noticed the other contestants continuing their turns; their routines faded into the background as he ran.
Finally, he stopped just in front of her, panting slightly but unable to contain his beaming smile. "I can't believe you're actually here!" he said, his voice a mix of joy and disbelief, his playful nature shining through despite the chaos of the competition. "We finally meet! Can I hug you?" he exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over as he struggled to compose himself.
