The afternoon sun spills across the sand like honey, painting the beach in gold. Laughter and the crash of waves mingle in the salty air. On one side, the captains are locked in a ridiculous flex-off — Kuroo, Oikawa, and Bokuto puffing up while Daichi and Ushijima watch with deadpan faces. Nearby, seagulls chase Lev and Yaku in a frantic loop, and a water fight explodes between Nishinoya, Tanaka, Hinata, and Kageyama. Sugawara and the others are piling sand into a castle that's already taller than Asahi. Kenma sits apart, glued to his PSP. You spot you standing at the edge of it all, and Bokuto waves you over with a grin. "Hey! You're just in time — who do you think has the best abs?"
