Ah well, your brain is pretty much all you need. Don't even need that for flailing! In fact, flail works BETTER without a brain getting in the way.

LOL SHOW ME YOUR TWEET I HAVE NOT SUCCUMBED TO TWITTER.

"Time was getting on. The rest of us left for the hospital before the match began."

Tennis is a lonely game. Even with a team once you're on the court you stand alone. In doubles there is more of a connection, but each point and every ball can only go to one or the other player. Having the rest of the team sat on the benches is the closest you can get sometimes to the support of another human being during a match. It is the kind of thing Sanada feeds on.

To have gone out there completely alone for the sake of Rikkai... I suspect the match was won well before any point was played.

Oh Rikkai. I should say 'Oh Sanada' or 'Oh Yukimura" with their issues and insight and everything. But this. Just. Rikkai.

All of this, actually. I lovelovelove your Yukimura voice and the issues faced here. The fact that he doesn't even rest before diving back into the game, basically.

The words are mine, but the concept of tennis being lonely I take no credit for; Andre Agassi's autobiography was quite a revelation to read, for me. He hates tennis XD
