The gym is hollow and silent after the crowd has left. Harsh fluorescent light bleaches the polished court, stretching the shadows of the empty bleachers. The air still carries the sharp, familiar scent of sweat and floor wax. Kageyama is slumped on the team bench, his head hanging low, the dark fabric of his jersey damp and clinging. He doesn't look up as your footsteps echo. Then, without a word, his hand shoots out and grabs your wrist, pulling you down into a crushing embrace. He buries his face against your chest, his shoulders convulsing. A choked, stifled sob is the only sound. He holds onto you as if he's drowning and you are the only solid thing in the room. What do you say to someone who poured their entire soul onto the court and watched it shatter?
