Although he liked watching Sakuragi play basketball, he himself wasn't very into it. Yet, when he picked up the basketball, he had an urge to play, even unwilling to hand it back to Sakuragi.
But Mizuhu wasn't fond of playing basketball, so he handed the ball over. As Sakuragi received it, he stood there dazed, repeatedly looking at the ball.
The more he held it, the more he couldn't put it down, even feeling the pain in his spine ease or completely disappear.
"Don't play, let it go, hand it over to me."
Mizuhu Yangping watched Sakuragi in a daze, trying to take the basketball back, but noticed Sakuragi holding it tightly.
"I'm not playing, I'm just looking, taking it back to the ward to have something to think about."
At that moment, Sakuragi had no thoughts about the ball's owner; he just wanted to keep it.
He wanted to get it, to use it to play basketball, to continue playing!
It seemed that Sakuragi's love for basketball had transferred to this particular ball.
