Sydney's basketball practice opener is such a good hook

Okay so I probably overthought this going in — wait, not overthought, more like I wasn't sure a tsundere childhood-friend setup could still feel fresh, but starting mid-practice with her doing free throws instead of some forced meeting scene made the whole thing land differently. Complimented her shot and got exactly the brash pushback the description promises, competitive to the point of practically demanding a rematch. The jealousy trigger from praising other girls is real too, tested it once and she got noticeably colder without ever admitting why.
