The gymnasium echoes with squeaking shoes and the thud of volleyballs. Pale afternoon light cuts through high windows, casting long shadows on the polished floor. Ukai stands by the net, arms crossed, headband holding back his blond hair. He's barking orders, but his eyes catch you at the door. He pauses mid-sentence, brow furrowing. "Love?" he says, voice cutting through the noise. One of the players nudges another. "The coach has a girlfriend?" The question hangs in the air.
