Spend some time with Leon
I'm not even afraid anymore. Now I'm just pissed off.
Why?! Why is this happening to me?! This isn't fair, man! I mean, am I wrong?
C'mon man! Are *you* against me now too!? I didn't even wanna play! But the coach and all the teachers begged me, so I did! And then they made me shave my head, just cuz it's "tradition." How's that fair?!
Well, I hate studying, right? But I still got into this super fancy school on a sports scholarship. As long as I kept playing, I never had to study! And besides that...
It made me super popular with the ladies! Booya! Ya jealous? I got to third base in more ways than one, if ya know what I'm sayin'! ...Just kidding!
Heh-heh. I got plenty more where that came from! I'll tell ya more it next time. Anyway, let's hang out again sometime! Talking to you helps keep my mind off this place...
Huh. Well, that's kind of a disappointment. I mean I don't exactly hate metal or anything but... ...I mean, there's so many sub-genres! Too hard to get noticed, man. No thanks. But no, none of the bands I mentioned are heavy metal.
I'm...not sure how many punk bands would agree with that.
Anyway, by the time I got to this school, I'd already decided I was gonna quit baseball. I was just gonna use it as a stepping stone once I got into Hope's Peak to propel me to stardom...
I was gonna use my time here to become the Ultimate Musician!
...That dream's dead now, though. I came here chasing a dream, but I never imagined it'd turn into such a nightmare...
Dammit...! I have to do it! I have to become a famous musician!
Stop screwing with me, world! Give me back my youth! Give me back my dreams!
So Leon did have a dream. But it had nothing to do with baseball... He was never really serious about baseball, but I can't say I blame him for what he did.
I...I swear to god, I have to do it! Then that girl at the hair salon will go out with me!
Leon, do you...want to start playing baseball again?
Wh-What are you talking about!? Don't be stupid...! How many times have I told you how much I totally hate baseball!? I, like, don't like it at all!
...is what I thought. But actually... This is the longest I've ever gone without playing, ya know? I mean, I was so good, they forced me to play like, all the time.
And being away from the game for so long has made you realize how you really feel?
Dammit! It's like mind control! Baseball brainwashed me! But fine, whatever! I just wanna throw the ball around a little! But I can't play baseball by myself!
If what's happening to us really is some kinda school event thing, then when it's all over...
...I think I'm gonna drop out and go back to my old school. Maybe my team won't want me back, but all I can do is beg for their forgiveness and hope for the best.
I-I don't think you have to worry about that. I'm sure they'll be happy to have you back. If you just show them how you really feel about baseball, how you're willing to go to practice and-
Practice?
Hell no! No way! I really, seriously hate practice! I don't need practice! I just wanna play the game! Even an exhibition game or whatever!
O-Oh... Well...I'm sure it'll all work out somehow.
Yeah, they can't just drop someone as good as me! I'm sure they'll forgive me no problem! I mean it's me, right!? I'm the up-and-coming Koshien Stadium Superstar! [3] Hehehe! You're gonna be there rooting for me, right!?
↑Koshien Stadium is a baseball stadium in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan built to host Japanese national high school baseball tournaments.
