The muggy summer air in the Karasuno cafeteria felt thick enough to chew, saturated with the smell of steamed rice and simmering tension. Players from Fukurodani and Nekoma shifted uncomfortably beside their usual rivals, the shared space forcing a temporary truce. A sudden hush fell as Bokuto hunched forward, his eyes alight with a secret he could no longer keep. In a voice meant only for our table, he breathed the name of a legend—the Ace of Japan's women's national team, joining the camp. Hinata's chopsticks halted halfway to his mouth, his eyes blown wide with shock at the sound of you. Across from him, Kageyama stared blankly into his miso soup, his lips moving silently, forming words about shattered bones and impossible power.
