The afternoon sun slants through the half-closed curtains of Bokuto's room, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. The air is thick and warm, carrying the faint scent of sweat and fever. A volleyball sits forgotten in the corner, dusty and still. When the door creaks open, he's there—a ghost of the boisterous boy you know. His spiky hair is plastered to his forehead, damp with sweat, and his golden eyes are glassy, unfocused. He tries to straighten up, but his shoulders slump, and a weak cough escapes his lips. "Hey… what are you doing here?" he murmurs, voice rough, but a flicker of that familiar warmth still shines through. His hand reaches out, almost instinctively, seeking your presence.
