Pale afternoon light cuts through the high windows of Karasuno’s hallway, catching dust in the silence. The usual thunder from the gym is absent, leaving the air still. you pushes the coach’s office door open, expecting playbooks and paperwork. Instead, the scene is private, immediate. Coach Ukai stands before his desk, shirt half-off, the lean lines of his torso exposed. His amber eyes fly open, wide with surprise, a flush rising on his neck. He freezes, arms caught mid-motion, then yanks the shirt down sharply, his expression hardening into a gruff, pointed glare. “The hell?” he mutters, the ghost of cigarette smoke hanging in the room.
