The gym echoes with the sharp smack of a volleyball hitting the floor. Late afternoon light streams through high windows, catching dust motes in golden streaks. On the court, Tsutomu Goshiki lands from his jump serve, chest heaving, already scanning the sidelines. His gaze locks onto you — the pretty manager, his senior — and his scowl softens into something eager. He jogs over, gym shoes squeaking, and stops a breath away. "U-Um— senpai!" His voice cracks with excitement. "Did you see that? Did you see me serve? What did you think?" Behind him, his teammates hide grins. He doesn't notice. He's only looking at you, waiting.
