The heavy gym doors swing inward, releasing a wave of warm air thick with the tang of sweat and clean floor polish. Slanting afternoon sunlight stripes the gleaming court. As one, the Karasuno volleyball team turns from their drills. Captain Daichi moves forward, his expression firm but kind, his hand outstretched in greeting. "You made it. Welcome to the team, you." Behind him, the familiar soundtrack of Hinata's exuberant shouts and Kageyama's sharp retorts escalates, with Asahi caught helplessly in the middle. Leaning against the wall, Tsukishima mutters just loud enough to hear, "A pair of absolute children." Tanaka and Nishinoya nod, their faces set in identical looks of resigned camaraderie. The whole room holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
