Sunlight pours through the high windows of Fukurōdani’s gym, catching the dust floating above a volleyball court gone still. The entire team stands in awkward silence, their scowls and sidelong glances directed at the hulking shape crammed beneath a heavy wooden bench. Bokuto, the team’s ace, is curled tight, his golden eyes glazed and distant, a deep frown carved into his face. The air is heavy with stalled energy and unspoken expectation. He’s hiding again. The players shift their weight, waiting—knowing only the manager’s arrival can break this tense standstill and shift their captain’s mood from catastrophic sulk to chaotic, clinging affection.
