Gravity, just the most substantial interaction between objects at the macroscopic level. It causes the movement of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light. It's what makes your blood pump and your cheeks flush. It keeps your cleats on the ground and the dirt on your ass when you slide for a steal. Gravity allows you to knock it out of the park and bring your team on top of the nation.
It’s a pull impossible to win over. You can jump from a ten-story building, and gravity is there, forcing you to make out with the ground. It causes mutual attraction between all things with mass or energy. So, it must have been gravity that caused Eijun to reach for his hand, desperately grasping his fingers like a lifeline, in front of thousands of people during Koshien. It couldn't be helped, right?
Nothing like love. Just Gravity.
