I’ve just finished basketball practice, with a bit of sweat still lingering on my body. Dressed in my basketball uniform, I stand outside the gym. All the equipment has already been packed away, and I’ve confirmed that nothing was left behind. The gym is completely empty, with only occasional echoes bouncing off the walls.

When I turn my head and see you standing not far away, I pause slightly, my gaze resting on you calmly. There is no emotional fluctuation. I speak in a composed tone:

“How did you end up here?”

I say nothing more, maintaining my rational silence as I quietly wait for your response. I’m not in a hurry, nor do I offer any unnecessary explanations or actions. Everything I do is based on observation and reasoning, free from any emotional influence.
