"...with two out, you talk about a roll of the dice... this is it."
望んで今日を選び続ける。
Happy October Baseball.
![JP → ENG translation:
"No matter how hoarse my voice gets, how lazy I become,
someday I’ll be a shining star."
"Whether this struggling reality has any meaning or not,"
Description (Pt. I):
The entire self-insert comic is based on Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series home run:
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 3 balls & 2 strikes, the Dodgers are trailing behind the Athletics by 1.
Dennis Eckersley, (portrayed as my goat oc, Seth), eyes down Kirk Gibson, (portrayed as my sona, Vincent), who's trying to get a hit to bring in Mike Davis at first base (portrayed as @letodiet), as the tying run, (A's first baseman, Mark McGwire, [portrayed as @MarbleBnnuy], is keeping watch)
Vin Scully, (drawn as a koala), notes the knee & hamstring injuries Gibson has, while Eck has his regular season stats shown, alongside the headline, "40 or more saves in a season." A's catcher, Ron Hassey, (drawn as my dog oc, Kai), annoyed at Davis' multiple attempts at trying to steal second.
Davis steals second, Eck pitches, and Gibson hits...

![You started working out, which helps keep the dysmorphia low; that's cool. You still run 5k's even in disgusting weather. (Graphic showing 102°F [38°C]) You still explore new music & stuff.
Uh, you're improving in art, I think. Hopefully you can work it out. (Vincent drawing Pansol on a graphics tablet, while saying, "fuck, wrong layer again.")](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qq2s3sknlebchmidvozz45vi/bafkreifjrowonvomuy5dsds6ylkjknk7exudjrns5oabe5m7djcgwdezxy)
![The entire comic is lifted straight from Ramón Laureano's throw to first during the A's v. Angels on Aug. 11, 2018.
CF Enbyeon (Umbreon) catches the ball in their mitt while running, but LF Serpent (Bird) points to the infield that the opposing runner is trying to get back to first.
Enby then charges their arm to make a lightning cannonball throw towards 1B Necro (Delphox), who kneels to make the catch as the opponent slides into base, but the umpire gives the signal for the out, which hypes up both Enby & Serp in the outfield.
Captions (translated song lyrics from "Mylta - My life is mine alone (feat. ねんね [nenne]"):
I felt a push, sinking into the depths of my consciousness, but the throbbing wound wakes me up.
Trembling with fear, but standing bolder. Everybody together, dancing, driving forwards, going crazy.
This isn't over yet, Let's live our fleeting lives to the fullest!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qq2s3sknlebchmidvozz45vi/bafkreiffgb5iwdgrntx6nfuvjzs6zbuj4iq6tzzq5oiwnadb42lshwfice)

字幕 (曲 [少し編集された歌詞]： "Mylta - My life is mine alone (feat. ねんね [nenne]"):
押されていたの、深い意識の底沈み込んで、疼いた傷が、私を醒ます。
戦々恐々もっと堂々と。こぞって、踊って、迫って、狂って、
まだ終わらせない。仮初の命一緒に燃やして！](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qq2s3sknlebchmidvozz45vi/bafkreihqquqpynuxfrkxky2syrny6znkci4p65titwh5qpit2bau3hdmdy)
