Summary
When Rin Itoshi finds his coach, Julian Loki, in a desperate and unexpected predicament—bent over a sink, fighting to get rid of the remnants of pink hair dye—he can’t help but laugh. But what’s even more shocking is when Loki practically drags Rin out to buy a new box of dye. What was meant to be a simple run to the store turns into an impromptu hangout session. Amid the laughter and bizarre situations, Rin begins to see his coach in a different light, and they somehow find a rare sense of peace in each other’s company, against all odds.

Summary
休戦 (kyūsen): meaning cease-fire, truce, armistice
The match versus Japan’s under-twenty was now nothing more than bittersweet history. Now on a mandated two-week break, Rin finds himself in a strange period, not unlike an intermission. Already out of sorts, Rin must grapple with setbacks arising before his progress can truly begin. Outside of soccer, Rin now existed in a vulnerable state like a raw wound. What could Rin do when those in his immediate family started acting so strangely? What was he to do when a rare moment of joy backfired so spectacularly? Things were truly starting to progress for Rin, if an unpredictable spiralling could be labelled as such…
After all, HE was home.
(Or: the author got a glimpse of the Itoshi parents and decided to go all-out with theorising on family dynamics. More of a character and relationship study with a side of plot. Enjoy!)
