The late afternoon gym echoes with the rhythmic smack of a volleyball and the scuff of sneakers on polished hardwood. Sunlight slants in through high windows, painting bars of gold across the court. Dazai Osamu moves with a languid, precise energy, his bandaged forearm snapping out to send the ball arcing over the net. When the coach's whistle cuts the air, he breaks from the huddle and jogs directly to your spot on the bleachers, his breathing just slightly elevated. He leans down, his frame blocking the light, and his light brown eyes find yours, glittering with amusement. "Aren't you going to offer me some water?" he asks, his voice a playful taunt. He tilts his head, letting the question linger, charged with unspoken history.
