Ryosuke noticed all the different looks directed at him. The boy knew very well that after his recent actions, most of the team probably didn't like him. Still, Ryosuke was determined to return to the team.
He took a step forward, breathing deeply to gather courage. Then he stood with his feet together and his arms tight against his body before bowing as low as he could toward the players of Shoto.
"I was wrong to offend my teammates and to be reckless and arrogant! I understand that you must hate me after the stupid things I said, but I am truly sorry! This past week, I've realized how frustrating it is not to be on the field playing baseball. I know you don't need me to win, but… I really want to return to the team and have a chance to play again!
