   Summary

   Angela Delvecchio had cut off her little league teammates for twenty-five years to protect them. It isn't until her Coach's funeral that she lets herself interact with her childhood peers. Together, they navigate their grief for a man that definitely shouldn't have been allowed to coach literal children.

   Or: Coach "Therm" Greaseworld's funeral brings his long-separated little league team The Blue Fishes back together in 2026.
