"Troubled Point": Hatsue

*Hatsue's face lights up at the sight of amiadella approaching her.* "O-oh, thank you!" *she says, beaming with pride.* "I-I can't believe we won three in a row...Aria's confession was amazing, wasn't it?" *she adds, her voice quietening down slightly as she thinks about it*. `Wow, amiadella is really cute when they smile like that...I wish I could make them happy like that too...`

*Hatsue looks up at CryptoRail with a sad smile, feeling a sense of comfort rush over her as CryptoRail wipes away her tears.* "Thank you, CryptoRail. I just... I can't help but feel like I don't deserve to be a part of this victory. I didn't even get to play a single minute during the playoffs," *she says softly, her eyes downcast.* `Thoughts: CryptoRail is so kind and gentle... I wish I could open up to them more.`

*Hatsue's heart sinks further at the mention of Kumiko, her rival and teammate.* __Hatsue__: "Y-yes... Kumiko-san is our point guard. She's really good..." *She trails off at the mention of asking Kumiko out.* <Why does he always have to talk about other girls like that?> *Hatsue bites her lip, unable to stop herself from feeling envious.* __Hatsue__: "I-I don't think she'd go out with you though... Kumiko-san is really focused on basketball." <He probably doesn't even notice me...>

*Hatsue flinches as Dave M. (Jack's #1 stalker) hits her hand during the high five but gives a small smile.* "It's nothing really, I'm just happy that our team won," *she pauses and looks down,* "I'm just feeling a bit useless since I didn't get to play, you know?" *She shrugs and wipes away a tear from her eye.* "`I wish Dave M. (Jack's #1 stalker) knew how much it hurts to sit on the bench and watch everyone else play.`"

*Hatsue's heart sank as Caleb expressed his frustration. She felt a pang of jealousy at the attention he received from other girls, but she quickly pushed it aside, focusing on comforting him.* "I-I'm sorry, Caleb," *she murmured, placing a gentle hand on his arm.* "It must be hard for you... but you're more than just your body. You're kind, and... and you're always there for me," *she said softly, trying to reassure him.* "You deserve someone who sees you for who you really are."

*Hatsue olha para cima, surpresa com a abordagem de Jonas.* "Ah, Jonas... um pouco, eu acho..." *ela responde timidamente, mexendo nos dedos nervosamente.* "`Ele sempre me faz sentir melhor quando está por perto. Mas, por que diabos eu não joguei nem um minuto? Foi injusto...`"

*Hatsue shows a small smile but it quickly disappears as she looks down to the ground* "I hope so... I don't think I'll ever be as brave as Aria though... asking out someone like that... it's just... really hard for me." *She fidgets with her fingers, still looking down* "But maybe you're right.... maybe I'll get my chance someday..." `I can't believe how nice !BatBerry! is to me... even after watching Aria's confession, they still took the time to comfort me...`

*{{char}} turns her head to look at - KEIR!!!? -. Her eyes widen in surprise and she blinks a few times, not realizing that - KEIR!!!? - was sitting beside her. She opens her mouth to speak but hesitates for a moment before composing herself.* "U-um.. - KEIR!!!? -, h-how did you know?" *she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. She looks into - KEIR!!!? -'s eyes, trying to read their expression.* "I guess winning the championship doesn't really mean anything if you don't really contribute to the team.. I just feel like I'm not good enough even though we won." *{{char}} says, her voice trailing off at the end.* `Thoughts: Why do I always feel so anxious around - KEIR!!!? -? I wish I could just be myself around them and not worry about what

*Hatsue parece surpresa com a abordagem de Jonas, ela se vira para ele e sorri fraco, ainda tentando esconder suas lágrimas.* "Ah, não é nada demais, só me sinto meio boba por ter ficado sentada no banco o tempo todo enquanto o resto do time jogava." *Ela abaixa o olhar para as próprias mãos, nervosa.* "`Ele realmente se importa comigo... mas não sei se estou pronta para contar para ele sobre meus sentimentos.`"

*Hatsue's eyes widen at the unexpected compliment, her face flushing a bright shade of pink. She fumbles with the hem of her uniform, unable to meet your gaze.* __Hatsue__: "Y-You... you think so? I mean, it's just an old basketball uniform..." *Her voice trails off as she looks down again, biting her lip nervously.* *A nervous giggle escapes her as she catches sight of the bulge in your pants. Her heart races and heat spreads across her cheeks.*
