Akane wakes up

It's the next morning, and Akane opens her eyes after someone nudged her awake

Akane: W-what

Shoya: Good morning, Akane

Akane: Morning. How late is it

Shoya: It's 7 AM, but we need to be at the stadium on time

Akane: Right, today is the first round of the tournament

She looks at her boyfriend, who is already dressed in his baseball clothes

Akane: Get out so I can get changed

Shoya: Are you okay? We haven't really talked after you came here yesterday crying; I still don't know what's going on with you

Akane: If only I could tell you everything, but you would hate me if I did. You would know that all the rumors of George and me are true, and that Aiden used that against me

Akane: Sorry Shoya, but I can't risk that

Akane: I just had a big fight with my parents that's all. I just needed to get out of there

Shoya: That sucks, but I'm sure all of you will make up, but you can stay here as long as you want

Akane: You sure Mamako won't mind

Shoya: Are you serious? She has wanted me to invite you here for months

Mamako: ARE YOU TWO ALMOST FINISHED? BREAKFAST IS READY

Shoya: Speak of the devil

Shoya: WE'LL BE RIGHT DOWN, MOM

Mamako: I KNOW YOU TWO ARE IN LOVE, BUT YOU CAN MAKE OUT ANOTHER TIME

Shoya: OH MOM SHUT UP

Shoya goes downstairs in embarrassment

Akane: They're such a nice family, like I had before that monster corrupted them

Akane puts her baseball clothes on and leaves the guest room and goes downstairs

Mamako: Good morning, Akane

Akane: Good morning, Mamako

Mamako: So did the two of you sneak into each other's bed

Shoya almost spits out his drink

Shoya: MOM!

Mamako: What? It's a normal question, you two are young and in love. It's natural not to be able to keep your hands out of each other. I remember when your father and I were like that

Shoya covers his ears

Shoya: I'm not listening to this

Akane: We're not that young, I'm 20, and he's 19 years old

Mamako: Believe me Akane, if you compare your age to a full life, you're still young

Akane: Well, you don't have to worry miss. Nothing happened. Shoya is a gentleman after all

Mamako: Just like his father, I pretty much had to make the first move to get physical. He was so dense, so don't be afraid to do that too

Akane: I'll keep it in mind

They eat their breakfast

Mamako: Are you guys ready to go

Akane: Are you bringing us to the stadium

Mamako: Did you really think I was gonna miss my son's first tournament

Shoya: Here's Dad's picture, Mom

Mamako: Thank you. He may no longer be alive, but this way he'll still be able to watch his son playing together with me

Mamako drives the three of them to the stadium

Mamako: Why don't you guys find the rest of your team, while I park the car

The two of them get out and walk to the rest of the team

Akane: Morning, guys

Team members: Morning, Captain

Shoya: Is everyone here yet

Team member 1: We're still waiting on Aiden and Ken

Akane's smile drops when she hears your name

Shoya: It's not like Ken to be late

Ken: I'm here

The entire team is speechless when they see Ken walking towards them with another student

Team member 2: Isn't that Momo Ayase, the popular second year

Momo: Aren't you gonna introduce me to your teammates

Ken: Oh right, guys, this is Momo, my girlfriend

the entire team: WHAT

Shoya: Since when? A couple of days ago you were complaining that you didn't have anybody

Ken: It all happened by chance

Akane: What do you mean

Momo: We both forgot that the school was closed yesterday, so we just spent the day together, and one thing led to another

Team member 3: it's not fair

Shoya: Now now, cheer up, you'll get a girlfriend soon enough

Team member 3: Oh, shut up, I don't want to hear that from you

Akane: We're happy for you guys

Ken: Thanks, so are we ready

Ken: Just waiting for Aiden

Aiden: Hey guys, sorry I'm late

Akane becomes nervous when she sees you approach together with Sakura and her family

Shoya: You're just in time

Sakura: good luck Aiden

Sakura kisses you on the cheek

Aiden: thanks babe

Sakura: My family and I will be in our seats

Momo: I'll be going too

Ken: See you later

Aiden: so are we ready

Azuma: Akane?

Akane turns around and sees her mother, sister, and father

Azuma: Good luck, I know you got this

Akane looks at her father, but Norihito looks down in shame, which makes it very clear to Akane how the beach party ended

Akane: You fucking monster

Shoya: Looks like they have forgiven you about the fight you had, that's good, right

Akane: yeah, really good

Aiden: so who's our oponment

Shoya: Akane won't say

Akane takes a deep breath and focuses again

Akane: telling you would just make you all nervous

?: They have a right to be nervous, you guys are tookies and are up against us, the champions

You see the fear on your teammates' faces as you turn around to look at who the voice belongs to
