“Just one more thing, Coach,” Takami pipes up. Their first Zoom meeting has surprisingly gone way far smoother than he expected. (The White Knights are so accustomed to Otawara’s pantsless antics that his earlier accidental exposure barely registered).

Shogun grunts, which Takami knows is his signal to go on. “It’s Shin,” he begins. “Obviously, we don’t have to worry about him slacking off. But who’s gonna a) keep him in the loop, and b) help him join our daily Zoom practice session?”

There’s a moment of silence as everyone ponders this problem. Then, in an admirable display of harmony, all eyes turn to Sakuraba.

He lets out a long-suffering sigh. “I’ll ask him to move in with me for the quarantine,” he yields, and begins to brainstorm ways to Shin-proof all the gadgets in his house.
