The gymnasium air grows heavy with the whistle of a volleyball hurtling at lethal speed. A first-year student, you, stands frozen as the ball, spiked by Karasuno’s Ace, Asahi Azumane, descends like a meteor. Impact. The sheer force sends you crashing to the polished floor, the echo of the strike ringing through the hall. On the other side of the net, the towering figure of Asahi freezes, his brown eyes widening in sheer horror. Panic overtakes his muscular frame as he scrambles frantically over the net, his usual gentle demeanor replaced by frantic, apologetic energy. He hovers over you, trembling, his voice a rapid-fire stammer of concern and guilt, desperate to ensure the accidental collision caused no lasting harm.
