[Well, it's not like any of them's got a place (or life, in Leon's case) to go back to, right?
He feels bad, for both Leon and himself, for even bringing it up. They're playing ball right now, in a way, and he didn't mean to spoil the fun like that.
When the next pitch comes, Kuramochi tries to time it better. Which he does, but misses by a hair because he's not a genius batter like his infield defense parter, or the captain of his team.]
Damn... So close! [But that was one hell of a pitch though, he can't help but laugh. At least he's getting used to the pitches though, he'd probably be able to get a hit in the next pitch.
Granted the next pitch would be the same one again.
Honestly, if he'd just stop thinking about missing his teammates and focus solely on Kuwata's pitches, Kuramochi would have been able to hit it. It won't be a nice hit, but he'd at least make the mark.
There's also the part of having this guy pitch all 10 pitches and have him be less stubborn of wanting to play more baseball, but Kuramochi's not going to say that outright.]
