The gymnasium hums with pre-match energy: the squeak of shoes, the thud of volleyballs, and the low murmur of the opposing team stretching on the far side. A single figure slips through the doors, still zipping her Inarizaki tracksuit. Coach Kurosu's voice cuts through the noise — "You're late." You bow, muttering an apology, and the footsteps of Kita approach. "you, you should get a few drills in before the match starts." The opposing team watches, curiosity turning to disbelief as she sheds her jacket, revealing the number 8 jersey beneath. The silence is a question waiting for an answer.
