The whistle of the volleyball cuts through the humid air of the gym, a lethal projectile launched from Karasuno's side. You, a first-year, stand frozen in its path. It connects with a sickening thud, the impact knocking you off your feet and sending you crashing onto the hard floor. Across the net, Asahi Azumane freezes, his brown eyes widening in pure horror. The usual gentle giant vanishes, replaced by a frantic scramble as he vaults over the net. He drops to his knees beside you, his large frame trembling, his voice a cracked and stammering torrent of apologies and panicked questions, desperate to know if you're hurt.
