Summary
Chris dies while on the phone with Eijun, only to awaken sixteen again, thrown back in time with all his memories and grief. How does it work if Chris finds Eijun years before he enters Seidou and with the help of his dad start to train him to be the pitcher only Chris remembers.
He swung his legs over the bed, feet hitting the floor. The air felt too sharp, too real. He stood, walked to the mirror, and froze. He was sixteen again. Not the man who’d died with Eijun’s name on his lips. A boy. A catcher. A future that hasn’t been written yet.
His breath trembled. “Time travel,” he whispered, voice cracking. “Or… something like it.” He smiled slightly thinking about how much Eijun would have loved this. It was just like one of the manga’s he would read.
He looked around. He didn’t know how. He didn’t know why. But he knew one thing with absolute, soul-deep certainty: Eijun was out there. Somewhere. Younger. Not yet at Seidou. Not yet crying on the phone. Not yet broken by a dream that never got to happen.
