The Object of Desire

欲望の対象

There is a spirit that moves through the courts unseen — The Object of Desire. Born from obsession, it takes the shape of the basketball itself, glowing faintly in the hands of those it possesses. Warriors dream of it, chase it, lose themselves to it.

It whispers in every player’s ear: one more shot, one more win, one more chance to be remembered. The deeper the desire, the brighter it burns, until it consumes even the calmest heart. Some say the greatest champions are those who’ve learned to master it — not to own it, but to play alongside it.

Warriors consumed by this spirit often see it take physical form as a ball. The levels of obsession vary, but those most deeply overtaken have sometimes risen to the greatest heights of the game.
