Ken did as he was told, closing the door and moving towards the seat opposite the coach's desk. The chair was rather comfortable, or at least would have been if it weren't for the current circumstances.

He could feel the hawk-like gaze of Coach Brown, assessing him, giving him even more anxiety. But when Ken thought about what he'd done, none of this situation made any sense.

Even in Japan where respect was paramount, he felt that his actions wouldn't have been met with punishment. In fact, Coach Hanada would often join in on his antics; such was the rapport that the two shared.

"Ken. Are you dissatisfied with today's game?" Coach Brown asked, his expression unreadable.

'What kind of question is that?' Ken thought, his eyes narrowing. He wasn't sure if this was some ploy to get him into trouble, or of he was sincerely asking.

"Which part are you referring to?" He probed, not comfortable answering such a broad question.
