As the flight landed, Hiro was met by a spectacular sight—hundreds of people had shown up at the airport to receive the players.
Many of them held banners wishing him a speedy recovery. If you scan the crowd, you could even find some overwhelmed by emotion.
They were shouting his name. Some revered him as a hero while some as their messiah. The number of people grieving for him was equally large.
At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was at the center of attention despite being in the presence of Japan's biggest superstars.
The camera shutters flashed continuously with blinding lights, capturing his every movement in detail. However, unlike before, the reporters appeared more cautious than ever.
It might be due to the cast on his arm.
Hiro could palpably feel the love and support of those fans.
