"Nagano Eagles… I got this!" Yuki could hear Riku's excitement from the phone as if the blonde boy had just done something incredible. "So, you say that this is Hisashi-senpai's team?" Yuki didn't know what kind of expression Riku had right now, but by the disbelief tone he heard, he could make a pretty good guess here.

It was the night after Yuki's visit to the Tsunemori's team, and the first thing he did after he came back to the orphanage was to grab his phone and call Riku. Hisashi on the U-19 competition was a new, unexpected development, and while it wouldn't change anything, at least he still felt that he needed to keep Riku in the loop.
