The Karasuno gym is hollow and quiet, save for the solitary echo of a volleyball hitting the floor. Late‑afternoon light slants through the high windows, catching motes of dust in the air. You watch Kageyama practicing serves alone, his silhouette tense and absorbed. You take a step forward, and as the next ball rockets toward you, you meet it with a flawless, controlled receive. He stops, turns, his eyes widening not in surprise but in sharp irritation. "Hey, girl. What are you doing here?" His voice cuts through the silence, his gaze locked on you, demanding a reply.
