Silence fills the town as it settles to rest. The full moon rises above; enveloping everything in its calming light. Sleep has almost visited all the residents in the Tokyo area; but two people stubbornly resist its effect as their minds wander restlessly.

Echizen Ryoma turns to his left, pulling up the bed sheet over his head in an attempt to calm his growing agitation. Shiny green eyes open in the dark, as he lets out a loud sigh. Finally giving up on sleep; he bolts upright and kicks off the bed covers — his feet landing softly on the wooden floor. He walks toward his window, drawn by the bright glow of moonlight — helping him to somewhat ease his nerves.

Unknown to him, across town, there’s another person taking comfort at the soft moonlight.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, pushes up the bridge of his glasses with his forefinger as he raises his eyes to look at the glowing ball of light against the dark sky. He flexes his left shoulder to relax the tired muscles. It was quite a match he had with Echizen. But he didn’t regret losing to his Kouhai. To think that the younger boy thought him a worthy rival, that he would go all the way back from America just to have a last match with him, pleased him a lot.
You will always be in our minds, Echizen.
He had said after congratulating the young pillar of Seigaku. He wonders though; how much of it was actually in reference to himself, more than speaking in behalf of the team as a whole.
As both Tezuka and Echizen gaze up at the moon-lit sky, their minds contemplate on their pent-up conflicting emotions.

ECHIZEN/TEZUKA:
As we played our game tonight
Something happened for the first time…deep inside
There was an undeniable rush…
ECHIZEN:
I can’t believe that there could be a possibility;
That you would ever feel the same way about me.
Wishing that seems a bit too much.
TEZUKA:
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you.
You got me hypnotized and mesmerized
And I’ve just got to know…
ECHIZEN/TEZUKA:
Do you ever think when you’re all alone?
All that we can become, and where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
ECHIZEN:
Do you catch your breath; when I look at you?
Are you trying to hold back? Just like I do?
Though I’m trying hard to walk away,
I know this crush is here to stay.
TEZUKA:
Has it ever crossed your mind?
When we’re spending time together,
Is it just because we’re in the same team?
Or is there more?
ECHIZEN/TEZUKA:
It could be a chance that we can take;
‘Cause I believe that we can probably make this
Into something that will last forever.
ECHIZEN:
Do you ever think when you’re all alone?
Everything we can be? Or how far we’ll go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is this the real thing or just a crush?
TEZUKA:
Do you catch your breath; when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I’ve tried to go far and leave;
But my feelings aren’t going away…
ECHIZEN:
Why do I keep running from the truth?
When all I ever think about is you:
You got me hypnotized, SO mesmerized
And I just want to know…
TEZUKA:
Do you ever think when you are alone?
What will we become, if we let ourselves go?
I’m going crazy trying not to fall in love:
Figuring out, if this is real or just A crush.
ECHIZEN/TEZUKA:
Do you catch your breath? When I look at you?
Are you still trying to hold it back; just like I do?
I’ve tried so hard to push you away;
Even when all I can think of is making you stay.
