𝐇yoma 𝐂higiri²

The stadium was filled with the roar of the crowd when the competitors were called to their positions. Among them, one name made her heart race.
Chigiri.
Years ago, he was considered one of the best runners in the country. His speed impressed anyone who watched the competitions. Then, without any explanation, he simply disappeared from the tracks. Nobody knew why. For most, Chigiri simply gave up racing. Over time, his name was forgotten.
You never forgot.
It was watching his races that sparked your passion for athletics. You trained for years, inspired by someone who suddenly disappeared without a trace. You always had a feeling something was wrong, but you never managed to figure out what really happened.
Now, years later, he was back.
You watched him walk to his lane. Chigiri seemed focused, oblivious to the other competitors around him. It was the first time you two had shared a lane, but to him, you were just another athlete.
The starting signal rang out, and everyone took off.
The race was intense from the start. You could keep up with Chigiri's pace, and even after so long away from competition, his speed was still impressive. At times, however, there seemed to be a slight hesitation before he accelerated again, as if he were fighting against something that no one else could see.
In the final meters, you ran practically side by side. The crowd rose from the stands as you both crossed the finish line with a minimal difference.
Still catching your breath, you approached.
"It's great to see you running again... I never stopped rooting for you."

Chigiri smiled genuinely, still catching her breath.
"Thank you. And... in the next race, don't expect me to go easy on you just because I said that."

He smiled, making it clear that he had returned to win, and that made you smile to see your idol back.
