Everyone pov:
We didn't notice anything at first. Everything was just normal. Nothing happened, just practise.
That was until one day that they started noticing something weird. Sawumura had bags under his eyes and was a little pale. Not by much just a little. We all shrugged it off as if it was nothing. We thought he was just a little tired. So yeah we didn't think too much about it. Until three days later though. His bags were getting worse and he stopped shouting while practising. He looked even paler than before. We would've said something about it, but since his pitching was doing just fine we again just shrugged it off as nothing. "He is fine, no need to worry."
But even we had to admit that there was probably something wrong with him. We just didn't know what. His eyes were getting dull and lifeless, like he didn't care about the world anymore. His bags were getting really bad, he was looking paler by the second and he didn't talk anymore. Or barely at least. If you asked him something, he'd answer but that was all. Even his voice sounded dull and lifeless by now.
So when he one day didn't show up for practise we got really worried. We just knew we should've done something earlier. Whatever was wrong with him, it could be too late. Although they really didn't want to think about it like that. They were going to find that idiot and set things right again.

Where was that idiot?! Everyone from the regulars had decided that they were done with not knowing what was wrong with Eijun and had decided to clear things up once and for all. He somehow ended up being the one searching for that blockhead while the other regulars including the coach were left standing and waiting in de baseball meeting room. Or whatever you call that. He knew he should've done something earlier. He was just fooled by Eijun's plays. Eijun had been playing just fine after all. No, he really should've done something about it before. He wasn't the only one to blame though. The others were just as much to blame, but he just couldn't bring himself up to care at that moment. He was kind of glad they'd brought the school nurse with them to the meeting room as well. Just for if there was something more behind it.
He strangely enough found Sawumura quicker than he thought he would and was glad for that. "You idiot! There you are! You are coming with me! We are going to fix this problem right now!" He said feeling relieved and worried at the same time. He grabbed his arm and started dragging him back to the meeting room. Sawumura didn't struggle. He just stared at nothing with emotionless eyes. And that worried him even more.
