Sanada knew that she was completely right, despite being bitter ( and mad at himself ) about the whole situation. Though he knew that he was one of the most mature people on the team despite still being a second year, and even served for them as an example with not only his pitching, but his behavior during and outside of games. Showing his eagerness would only damage his reputation and most likely falter the faith the coach had put into him in the first place.
A dark brow got raised at the mention of a possible mother, though he decided that she had accidentally made a mistake ( it’s not like he hasn’t ever called teachers, and even the coach, a parent ) so he decided to shake it off and to continue listening to her next words.
‘Yeah…’ He knew that he was repeating himself, but he was still a sixteen year old boy. He wasn’t invincible ( sadly ) and his emotions hadn’t yet completely submitted themselves to him.
‘When is the doctor coming? Not that I’d mind spending the next few hours with you, of course.’
--- Misaki resisted the urge to reach out and push the corners of the male’s mouth upwards, as to force him to smile. He had been frowning and upset this whole time, it probably wasn’t good. He was tense and she just wanted to get a laugh or a smile out of him. But knowing it may be a bad idea to abruptly do so, she kept her hands behind her back to deter the action.
Upon his question, Misaki was about to answer when she heard the door open, “Now, I guess,” she blinked, turning to look towards the exam room and watching the person step out. That was her cue to return to the reception desk. Watching her mother step into the hall, she waved towards her to come over and when the doctor did, Misaki explained the situation and received a light scolding in return for her carelessness.
“Well, this is where we part, I guess?” she offered a smile, “I hope everything goes well for you. And you need to smile more, it’ll make your day better,” she continued, bowing slightly before turning to head down the hall back to the front of the clinic.
