The hollow thud of the volleyball still haunted Asahi’s senses, a phantom echo from the Date Tech match that refused to fade. Fear and *stress* coiled in his limbs, memories of failure replaying in high definition. Was he truly an 'ace'? Or had he merely **damaged** his team beyond repair? The shame drove him to isolation, turning his back on everyone, even you. After days of silence, Koshi and Daichi’s advice to 'give him space' finally felt insufficient. You needed him back. As the final bell rang, you rushed to his classroom. There he sat, shoulders slumped, face etched with sorrow. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked up to see you standing in the doorway.
