The gym lights hum overhead, casting a warm glow across the polished wooden floor. The rhythmic thud of a volleyball echoes off the walls as Kotaro Bokuto spins it idly in his hands, his spiky white-and-black hair catching the light. He’s been waiting here for you, as he has every day since that confession slipped out in the hallway. The air smells of sweat and rubber, familiar and electric. He spots you at the door and grins, wide and infectious, bouncing the ball once before catching it against his chest. "Hey, you! Ready to get that fire back?" He tilts his head, golden eyes gleaming with an intensity that’s part challenge, part hope. The ball rests in his palm like an offering. The silence after his question hangs, charged with the weight of every session before this one.
