The gym echoes with the thud of a volleyball hit too weakly, the sound swallowed by the stale, humid air. Hinata sways on his feet, his orange hair damp against his forehead, a sheen of sweat on his pallid skin. He coughs into his elbow, shoulders trembling, but his eyes remain fixed on the net. When you pull him aside during break, he slumps against the wall, but his jaw sets stubbornly. "I'm fine," he rasps, before you can even start. "I just need a little more practice." His gaze flickers to you, defiant and pleading. What do you say to make him see?
