[Kuroko's Basketball] Embrace

- A birthday story for Kuroko Tetsuya - Nijimura/Kuroko pairing - Setting: Teiko Academy, Seirin High, then professional basketball Yesterday, when the team advanced to the league semifinals, a reporter asked Kuroko what basketball meant to him. Kuroko couldn't help smiling. Looking past the reporter at Nijimura's back as he organized the lineup, he spoke in an even gentler voice: "Basketball means more to me than a ball or a hoop. It means the years flowing by, and the people who slowly fade from memory, as well as those who remain vivid." "And I'm grateful that basketball brought me together with the most important person in my life. He taught me to look back on the past with a smile and embrace the future with hope." Only after a long separation did they finally understand: every departure is a return, and every long companionship comes with a farewell. We leave to meet again, and we say goodbye so that we can stay together after we reunite. Whether we cling to them or let them go, human emotions remain an unknown territory. What has happened and what has not, time can measure it all. The journey is so long, the road ahead so steep, and yet you insist on walking it with me. There is still a long time before summer ends. While we're young, let's walk together. Theme:
