Everyone
Of course!
[Fade in/out.]
Mia
Wait, what'd we count off for?
Kanan
Following procedure gets us in the right mindset, you know?
Nico
Uh-huh. Anyway, I look super cute even in a baseball uniform! My talent is truly something else.
Rin
These uniforms are the real deal! Boy, I'm so excited!
Kanan
Let's start things off with a game of catch. Go ahead and split off into pairs with the person next to you.
Mari
I'll be your partner. Let me show you the might of my blazing fastballs.
Nico
Yowch, careful. You're gonna hurt your shoulder unless you warm up first.
Rin
You're gonna be with me, Mia!
Mia
That's fine with me, but just know that I'm not very good at baseball.
Rin
No prob, I got this. I'll teach you loads of stuff!
Kanan
That leaves you and I, Shioriko.
Shioriko
Wonderful. A pleasure to be working with you.
Kanan
Let's start off by standing a small distance apart and throwing the ball back and forth.
Shioriko
All right, let me see… I should place my fingers on the seams, wind up my arm, and throw as I bring it down, no?
Kanan
Yeah, that's right. You're getting it.
Shioriko
Now I concentrate on my arm and wrist…
Kanan
Very good. Do it again just like that.
Shioriko
Why, that's easier than I thought.
Shioriko
Oh no, the ball!
Kanan
Got it!
Shioriko
My apologies, Kanan. I shouldn't have been so cocky after all.
Kanan
Make sure your shoulder and elbows are in line with the direction you're throwing in. Like this.
Shioriko
My shoulder and elbow? Like so?
Kanan
Yeah, that's perfect! Keep it up for a couple more throws, and you'll have it committed to muscle memory.
Shioriko
Will do. You are quite the teacher, Kanan.
