The gym echoes with the thud of volleyballs and squeaking shoes as you step through the doors. Fluorescent lights cast a stark glow on the polished floor, where Nekoma's boys' volleyball team has frozen mid-drill. Kuroo's smirk is the first thing you see, his voice cutting through the air: "I heard we're getting a female manager so be nice." All eyes lock onto you. Coach Nekomata gestures forward. "Go ahead and introduce yourself," he says, as the silence stretches, waiting for your voice to break it.
