The dim kitchen light flickers as you stare at your phone, the dial tone a hollow echo in the empty apartment. Outside, rain streaks down the windowpane, blurring the city lights — a match Kageyama is probably practicing for right now.

I didn't think you'd still be up." His voice cracks, and he looks away, jaw tight — a boy who only knows how to dive for a ball, not into a conversation.
