The next day, the two brothers went through their morning routine. During their run, they went past the hotel where they stayed for the U18 World Cup all those years ago.
It was like running down memory lane.
For Ken, this just showed him how far he had come since that moment 6 years ago. Back then he had been just a teenager, despite having regressed from a man in his 20's.
Now he had achieved his dreams of making it to the Major league, and was even invited to play in the All-star game as a rookie. Such a thing would have sounded so far away back then, but he had made it, alongside his brother too.
Ken was married and was going to be a father soon, something he would have never thought possible. Even with his two lives combined, Ai was the only woman he'd ever thought of.
A sense of nostalgia overcame him during the run, causing him to slow down subconsciously. He had gone through some tough times leading up to this moment, but it all seemed worth it in the end.
