相棒. partner. this word is so important to both miyuki and eijun. a simple word that was uttered by miyuki during their fateful first meeting. a word that shaped their battery, their strength on the field. wanting to reach higher, become stronger for the sake of their partner.
there’s something so soulmate about miyuki asking, almost begging, shirasu to connect it to him, just so he can answer to eijun’s monster pitching in kind!!! he wants to be his equal, as his partner.
