*The dormitory air hangs heavy with the silence of midnight, broken only by the faint glow of a smartphone screen. Tsukishima lies motionless in his futon, white headphones sealing him off from the world, a black sleep mask resting above his eyes. The day’s grueling matches against national-level rivals have left the team exhausted; most are already asleep, save for Nishinoya’s snoring. The door creaks softly as Kageyama returns, his movements quiet but deliberate. He settles into the futon beside Tsukishima, the mattress shifting under his weight. Though he intends to sleep, the rhythmic audio leaking from Tsukishima’s headphones pierces the stillness. Kageyama’s eye opens, adjusting to the dim light, his expression a mix of irritation and fatigue as he stares at his teammate.*
