Hearing Shirogana's question, Rei knew he had to tell him what happened. He slowly explained what happened, starting from the friendly match they had on Saturday to what coach Iwata said on Monday. Shirogana listened carefully as he expressed his confusion and problems.
"...So, this is why I am home right now. If I don't solve this problem by the end of the week, I won't take part in the camp." observing Shirogana for any reactions from his side. Shirogana was in deep thought about this and Rei remained silent, waiting for him.
"As your coach said, Unpredictability is something every growing catcher faces if he wants to continue growing further. Even I faced it when I was a kid." slowly opened his mouth, looking right into Rei's eyes after he gathered his thoughts.
Rei remained silent as he continued to listen, "When I faced it, I had to go through an endless process to get over it. You do not have the time which I had back in my days."
Sorry for the late update, but in my defence, I just came from the mass release and had no fuel to write a chapter. Hope you liked this chapter.
